Recently, the US announced that it plans to reactivate sanctions against the Venezuelan oil and gas sector, denouncing Caracas' failure to comply with the commitments made to the opposition in October last year, in view of this year's presidential elections in the country.
Understand the US sanction on the country that holds the largest oil reserves in the world
According to State Department spokesman Matthew Miller in a statement, in the absence of progress, including allowing all presidential candidates to run in this year's elections, the United States did not renew the license, authorizing the purchase of commodities of the largest oil and gas reserve in the world, when it expired on April 18, 2024.
The government of United States consider that the actions of President Nicolás Maduro and his representatives in Venezuela, including the arrest of members of the democratic opposition and the prohibition of candidates from running in this year's presidential elections, are inconsistent with the agreements signed by the representatives of the Venezuelan President and the Platform Unitary, from the opposition.

The announcement took place after, on January 26, Venezuela's Supreme Court of Justice confirmed that the winner of the opposition's primary elections, Maria Corina Machado, will not be able to run against Maduro in the presidential elections, scheduled to take place in the second half of the year.
In response, the Venezuelan government threatened to review the bilateral cooperation mechanisms between Caracas and Washington and immediately revoke repatriation flights for Venezuelans.
According to Venezuela's vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, at deliberate attack on Venezuela.
President Nicolás Maduro recently stated that he will sign contracts with 20 investors to explore commodities in the world's largest oil reserve, located in Latin America.
But Venezuelan oil is worthless, you can't sell it, the guy is a dictator.
Are Arab countries democracies? Which Arab country has the US stopped establishing trade relations with?
This is the basic difference between a leftist dictator and all other types of dictators…
There may be a Kingdom there, but its people are prosperous, there is no hunger and no people eating garbage leftovers, the truth is that you who defend it do not have the courage to live in Venezuela, but if they offer you a job in Saudi Arabia, go there running, pure hypocrisy is the leftist…
The hunger in Venezuela is a result of sanctions. Guyana is the fastest growing country in Latin America due to the oil they discovered and are exporting. The sanctions on Venezuela do not exist because it is a ****, but they began when Hugo Chavez prevented American companies from exploring for oil without passing on to the Venezuelan people what was required, that is, the US extracted oil very cheaply, leaving the Venezuelan people in need. Saudi Arabia is also a ****, but it serves American interests, and for this reason it even receives American military protection. This **** fallacy is just an argument that the US uses to justify its sanctions, because we know that dictatorships for them are selective, where, if they serve their interests, they can continue to massacre their populations at will, when they stop serving them, they soon become “bloodthirsty dictators” and must be sanctioned and overthrown from power… We already know this story.
Franklin, this is the speech of a communist, in solidarity with Maduro's red ****. Hunger in Venezuela is a result of sanctions, spare me. Joke ****!!!

Congratulations, not just anyone has the courage to write so much crap.

Not all oil reverses electrification!
Why so much hate for the Portuguese language?
