The National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said at a White House press conference that the United States had no plans to take military action in Venezuela, but that President Trump intended to take advantage of a broad range of "integrated options" in the future. McMaster's remarks came after the announcement of a new round of U.S. economic sanctions on the South American country, restricting the Venezuelan government's access to U.S. debt and equity markets.
