The EU has sanctions on Venezuela and the US keeps piling on sanctions and newspaper reports say Trump is contemplating an invasion. Obviously these external pressures will have a negative effect on the Venezuelan economy.

One reason for so much pressure is oil prices are rising and external forces want things changed before that happens. Thus the talk of US invasion.

This is in contrast to the US-backed military overthrow of the Honduran government, which has been slaughtering its political opposition. In fact, these are many of the immigrants on the US border being discussed. The western governments back the military and post-coup governments on that case, which has been much more bloody.
