Then simply stop trying to export your way of life. Keep it within your borders.
Read article 12 and 13 of the Venezuelan Constitution. Land, Water and or Mineral rights may not be owned by foreigners (or their agents). They knew that going in. The only countries that have had their industr(y)(ial) leases cut off are those that try to export their way of life by whatever means to interfere in the Sovereignity of Venezuela. Quit playing games... stop losing investments. Pretty simple. NO LAWS HAVE BEEN BROKEN (real or imagined) The US needs to fully understand that its ideals and laws are NOT applicable past that three mile limit at sea and one inch over a border. The Monroe doctrine is spitting in the face of Latin America and it absolute sovreignity.
