In his address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump announced additional sanctions against Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro.
"Today, socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation and driven it's people into abject poverty," Trump said of Venezuela. "Virtually everywhere socialism or communism has been tried it produced suffering, corruption and decay."
Trump said the new sanctions would target Maduro's inner circle and close advisers.
"We ask the nations gathered here to join us in calling for the restoration of democracy in Venezuela," Trump said.
