Maduro and his wife were jailed in New York and face a drug-trafficking indictment. The U.S. Treasury blocked authorization for the Venezuelan government to pay Maduro's legal fees after an initial license granted by OFAC, a move their lawyer says interferes with his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and highlights ongoing tensions in U.S. policy toward Venezuela ahead of a March 17 hearing.
