US plans sanctions on Venezuela's gold exports

You can't stop trade in gold

The WSJ reports that the US plans sanctions on Venezuela's gold exports.

The US says it's trying to stop Maduro from looting the nation's riches. Most of the exports -- more than 20 tons this year -- has gone to Turkey.

I just don't see how it would be possible to stop gold from moving. It's fungible, easy to transport and you can melt it down.
