Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he will meet with counterparts from the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and many Latin American countries in Washington in April to coordinate efforts to tighten economic pressure on Venezuela.
“We are having discussions with the EU about them putting sanctions and matching our sanctions,” Mnuchin said Wednesday at a press conference in Santiago after a meeting with Chilean President Sebastian Pinera. “I think that’s very important that they come along and we have a united front.”
