The measures, which could be announced as early as Monday, are not expected to include a ban on Venezuelan oil shipments to the United States — one of the harshest options — but could block sale of lighter US crude that Venezuela mixes with its heavy crude and then exports, the officials told Reuters

While no final decisions have been made, the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the United States could also sanction further senior Venezuelan officials

But the timing of any new sanctions, which were imposed on 13 Venezuela figures last week, remained uncertain

Other options that remain under consideration, the officials said, are various measures to restrict access by the Venezuelan government and state oil company PDVSA to the US banking system, the sources said

But it was not clear whether the US administration was ready to take such action or would instead hold it in reserve if further escalation was deemed necessary

The new round of sanctions is intended to make good on President Donald Trump's threat of "strong and swift economic actions" if Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro went ahead with Sunday's election of a controversial new congress, the officials said

But the US response, though expected to be the toughest yet against Maduro's leftist government since Trump took office, is also being calibrated to avoid causing further suffering to the Venezuelan people or damaging US economic interests, the officials said

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment

Carderock News Update 7-31-17 - Duration: 2:05.

Greetings Carderock team, this is your Carderock News Update.

After my good friend Larry Tarasek hosted this a few weeks ago, I couldn't wait to do

it myself.

So therefore, this week I'm your host, Tariq Al-Agba.

Carderock leadership and representatives from the UMBC signed an Educational Partnership

Agreement last week.

The agreement is expected to strengthen the relationships with UMBC in the areas of cyber,

additive manufacturing, and other business areas.

This is the 12th active EPA that Carderock has with educational institutions to cultivate

cooperative research initiatives and promote careers in STEM.

Summer Interns presented their final presentations in the MTIC auditorium last week, which covered

a variety of projects including ship design, model experiments, laboratory research, and

systems analysis.

Thank you to all of the interns for your hard work, and we hope to see you at Carderock

in the future.

Also, a big thank you to all mentors and personnel that ensured the interns had a positive and

rewarding learning experience.

This Tuesday, please join your colleagues to recognize the winners of the Carderock

Division's Annual Honor Awards for 2016, the "Magnificent Eight."

The awards ceremony will be held in the MTIC Auditorium at 1pm, and we'd love to see you

there for your support.

In this week's wavelets, Federal employees and contractors can find a comprehensive list

of all required training to be completed by Sept. 30th.

Now I know that is very exciting news to everyone, so please take your time, don't all do it

at once, because you'll end up clogging our servers.

For more information on these events and others, check out your weekly edition of wavelets,

which you can find on the intranet or iNFusion.

This has been your Carderock News Update.

Thanks for watching.
