The software company Adobe says it is cutting off its accounts in Venezuela, the latest repercussions of US financial sanctions targeting President Nicolás Maduro.

Its cutoff follows a move by Major League Baseball to ban its players from the Venezuelan Winter League because of the sanctions.

US officials back Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó's bid to unseat the socialist government, saying Maduro's election last year was a fraud.

Venezuelan officials didn't immediately comment on the move by Adobe.
