In his speech at the OAS, Pence also called for restricting Venezuelan leadership's access to financial instruments on the territories of OAS member states, introducing visa restrictions against "Venezuela’s corrupt leaders" and for holding Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro "accountable for destroying Venezuela’s democracy."
The United States has repeatedly blamed Maduro for attacking the democratic rights of the Venezuelan people and destroying the country's economy as result of the reign of corruption, which caused Venezuela to plunge into a political and economic crisis.
