US sanctions exclude Chinese firms from Venezuela's telecom market

The United States has issued new sanctions carve-outs for Venezuela's telecommunications sector, aiming to open the market to Western technology and investment while explicitly excluding Chinese companies like Huawei and ZTE. These measures, enacted by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, are designed to limit China's influence in Venezuela's expanding 5G networks. This strategy mirrors previous actions in Venezuela's oil sector, where sanctions were eased for some transactions but specifically barred Chinese entities. AI
