A Venezuelan bank run by the troubled country’s military on Wednesday slammed Mastercard for cutting off service to the bank’s credit cards following U.S. sanctions against the government of President Nicolas Maduro. The measure is another sign of how U.S. sanctions are affecting the functioning of Venezuelan state institutions. “The Bank of the Armed Forces denounces to its civilian and military clients … the suspension of interbank services for its credit cards on the part of the American company Mastercard,” the bank said in a statement posted on Twitter.
