The U.S. can impose sanctions against foreign countries at will. We've done that with both Iran and Venezuela. These sanctions apply to trade with the U.S.

The U.S. has no legal or moral right to use military means constrain trade among other nations that are not at war with the U.S.

You are quite wrong.

Our existing sanctions on these countries extend to all nations. There is a series of US and international laws that combine to make such Sanctions legal.

Remember the Cuban Embargo? We let that go due to lack of will, but it is similar.

Is the U.S. preventing Venezuela from unloading crude to be refined from American Companies?
