This was reported by TASS with reference to a representative of the US administration of high rank.
"Absolutely. All options are considered when it comes to exerting pressure, be it against Russian organizations supporting Maduro, or others. Yes, absolutely, that was and remains on the table, ”the representative of the US administration answered the question whether the US government is also considering the option of using sanctions against Rosneft.
The question of whether the White House plans to impose sanctions against this Russian company was also asked Robert O'Brien, assistant to the American leader in national security.
“We will consider this very carefully over the next few weeks,” said O'Brien.
According to him, "the United States is likely to take action on this issue in the near future."
In September 2019, the press service of Rosneft announced that the company was an investor in the oil and gas sector of Venezuela and had been it long before the introduction of US sanctions against Caracas.
The company made a corresponding comment in response to the words of US Special Representative for Venezuela Elliot Abrams, who allowed the possibility of imposing sanctions against Rosneft due to the purchase of Venezuelan oil.
