María Corina Machado won the presidential primary in October with more than 90% of the vote
The U.S. government, along with 30 other world leaders condemned the decision of Venezuela’s highest court to block the presidential candidacy of María Corina Machado.
President Biden previously threatened the South American country to reimpose economic sanctions on Venezuela if it failed to allow fair democratic elections.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the U.S. State Department said it is reviewing Venezuela’s election process after Venezuela’s highest court-the Tribunal Supremo de Justicia- ruled that Machado would not be allowed to run for president.
“The United States is currently reviewing our Venezuela sanctions policy, based on this development and the recent political targeting of democratic opposition candidates and civil society,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said.

People argue with election officials at a polling station that did not open on time, during regional elections, in the San Agustin neighborhood of Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021.
The move comes after Venezuela’s highest court upheld a ban on Machado’s candidacy.
