Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for a third presidential term after an election the opposition says was rigged.

The Biden administration announced new sanctions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and other government officials on Friday — marking its anger with Caracas minutes after Maduro was sworn into office for a third term following an election the U.S. says he didn’t win.

Nicolás Maduro took the oath before parliament, vowing his third six-year term in office would be a "period of peace".
