US eases sanctions on Venezuelan oil after Maduro's 2024 poll agreement

In response to an electoral agreement between the Venezuelan government and opposition parties for the 2024 election, the Biden administration has taken a significant step by broadly easing sanctions on Venezuela's oil sector. The move marks the most extensive rollback of Trump-era sanctions on Caracas. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a new general license, allowing OPEC member Venezuela, which has been under strict sanctions since 2019, to produce and export oil to its selected markets for the next six months without limitations.

In 2019 US was trying to dethrone Maduro. He’s been called dictator ever since, and Venezuela - his regime.

Lately, US has been in a need of oil – of a special sort that only Venezuela, Iran and Russia produce. The one for diesel.

Out of the blue, some sanctions on Venezuela have been lifted, and the same Maduro from the same Venezuela has turned himself into, according to the same US, a normal, ordinary, boring president.

So at the moment, whilst the US is bying oil from Venezuela, he officially, isn’t a dictator. At least for 6 months.

That’s how one is granted and taken away the label of a dictator.

Keep this in mind, guys, when arguying in the comments. Don’t confuse him with the current dictators.

    I’m just scratching my head at how he got any of that from the article he linked.

      It’s easy. Just start where you want to end, then find something vaguely related to explain “the journey.”
