The United States Responded to Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro’s Claim That Sanctions on the South American Country Remained “Unchanged” Until Concrete Measures Were Taken to Change the Dictatorial Government to a Democracy.

“As long as Maduro and his followers continue to oppress the Venezuelan people and divert resources to corrupt practices, we will continue to pressure the regime through sanctions,” said a spokesman for the U.S. State Department in an interview with EFE.

Maduro does not believe in a return to democracy and is asking for an agreement with Biden. On Thursday, Maduro asked U.S. President Joe Biden to lift “all sanctions” against Venezuela that the dictator deemed “criminal.” A State Department spokesperson insisted that Maduro sit down with the unified opposition platform to “solve Venezuela’s problems and restore democracy and the rule of law in the country.”

The Biden administration conditioned the lifting of sanctions on an agreement reached between Maduro and the opposition during negotiations in Mexico City. The United States has not recognized Maduro’s opponent, Juan Guaidó, as interim president for two weeks, despite the dictator’s denials. However, the country also does not recognize the legitimacy of Nicolás Maduro’s government, stating that the regime is a dictatorship and a return to democracy.

Maduro Believes The Relationship with The U.S. Needs to Be Established

The Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, said at the beginning of 2023 that the country is “fully prepared” to normalize relations with the United States (U.S.). In an interview with Telesur, Venezuela’s state television, Maduro stated that he is available to restore diplomatic, consular, and political relations with the current and future U.S. governments.

Caracas had suspended relations with Washington in 2019, after former President Donald Trump recognized opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president and imposed sanctions on the country, including an embargo on oil.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.

At 17, she hand-painted her first watercolor design for school uniforms; her brand grew without investors, sold 135,000 pieces, and aims for $3 million in revenue by 2026.
