The Context
The Venezuela intervention combines military force, criminal prosecution, and sanctions in a coordinated package—a departure from the sanctions-only playbook Washington deployed against Cuba and Nicaragua. The model now sets a precedent for how the U.S. may handle contested regimes across Latin America.
The Takeaway
Boards with Caribbean or Latin American exposure should reposition compliance protocols around the assumption of kinetic enforcement risk, not just sanctions drift. The Venezuela precedent makes political-stability assessments a CFO function, not just a geopolitical footnote.
