US sanctions affect a third of the world
The US imposes three times more sanctions than any other country.
In 2023 alone, more than 3,000 people fell under American restrictions.
The Washington Post shared its findings, analyzing Washington’s sanctions policy.
According to experts, the financial restrictions introduced by the United States have affected, in one form or another, a third of all countries in the world.
More than 60% of countries subject to Washington's sanctions are classified as low-income countries.
Analysts also assessed the impact of the introduced restrictions.
Cuba is cited as an example, having suffered significant damage from American measures.
The island nation has faced difficulties in obtaining vital drugs.
Sanctions against Syria are slowing down the post-war reconstruction of the Middle Eastern country.
Venezuela is facing a severe economic downturn, with damage three times greater than what the United States faced after the Great Depression (1929-33).
