WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Treasury Department on Friday imposed sanctions on four Venezuelan senior military officers, accusing them of committing "corruption and oppression."

According to a statement issued by the Treasury Department, the four officers were either current or former military officers, and all of their assets that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction would be frozen, and U.S. citizens will be generally prohibited from dealing with them.

In an announcement, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin also urged the international society to stand with Washington on the sanctions.

An oral war between the United States and Venezuela kept escalating, as U.S. President Donald Trump in July threatened to "take strong and swift economic actions" against Venezuela's government if the latter went ahead to pursue the creation of a National Constituent Assembly (ANC) tasked to rewrite the constitution.

On Nov. 9 of last year, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned against 10 current or former Venezuelan officials, whom it said "are associated with undermining electoral processes, media censorship, or corruption in government-administered food programs in Venezuela."
