Will Trump sanction Venezuela by Friday?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States officially imposes new sanctions of any form against Venezuela between March 18 and March 21, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Sanctions could include measures like tariffs, trade restrictions, financial penalties, diplomatic expulsions, travel bans, restrictions on specific individuals, or any other actions that are commonly recognized as sanctions. Sanctions against Venezuelan citizens or entities which do not directly target the Venezuelan state or members of the Venezuelan government will not qualify. The passage of an official act/executive order authorizing sanctions on Venezuela within this market's timeframe will count toward a "Yes" resolution, regardless of if/when the sanctions come into effect. The primary resolution source will be official information from the government of the United States, however a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
