The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden reinstated oil and gas sanctions on Venezuela on Thursday, a recognition that lifting the sanctions did nothing to entice the socialist regime to host a free and fair election.
The Biden administration lifted some of the strictest U.S. sanctions on dictator Nicolás Maduro’s regime last year as part of a dialogue in which Maduro agreed to host a presidential election sometime in 2024. The deal collapsed rapidly; Maduro scrapped it in October and launched a new wave of violence against anti-socialist dissidents, likely bankrolled by new oil profits.
~Snip~
Last year, representatives of the Maduro regime and the Venezuelan opposition conducted a series of negotiations in Barbados that led to an electoral agreement signed in October.
The document, known as the “Barbados Agreements,” was signed by both parties under the observation of the Biden administration and Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken spent years promoting the idea of having Nicolás Maduro — a socialist dictator who has clung to power through several rounds of fraudulent elections — allow Venezuela to hold a “free and fair” election.
~Snip~
The sanctions relief package temporarily lifted U.S. sanctions imposed on Venezuela’s oil industry in 2019 by former President Donald Trump as a response to the Maduro regime’s ongoing human rights violations against its own people.


Commentary:
Another foreign policy screw up from our dear president Biden
So the Neo-Marxist can't trust the other Marxist? Color me am shocked.
Why doesn’t Joe just concede defeat on EVERY SINGLE Trump policy that he’s reversed since he supposedly won the Presidency?
Drilling, Energy, Immigration, Iran, Israel and every foreign policy.... Biden has screwed the pooche on very issue.
Joe Biden say's we can't buy oil, can't produce oil, but it's Russia and Trump's fault that gas prices are going through the roof.
Obama's B-team still can't get it right.

I wonder if Venezuela imposes gas sanctions on the US, if that will entice Joe Biden to hold free and fair elections

What do you think?



Being a Marxist, historically speaking, means never having to hold fair elections ever again.

What am I missing?

FJB has never been on the correct side of anything.

Election year theatrics so if there is a debate he can claim he is tough on Venezuela. The fact checkers will say it’s true because he just reinstated the sanctions

Stupid. Their elections should be none of our business.

The sanctions originally passed in 2014 and 15 under Obama, extended in 2016-2019?
Recent Developments
On October 18, 2023, the Biden Administration issued
licenses easing energy sanctions on Venezuela through
April 2024 after Maduro and the opposition signed the
Barbados Accord, which included a roadmap toward
holding competitive elections. U.S. officials warned that the
licenses could be revoked if the Maduro government did
not create a process to allow all barred candidates to run
and release wrongfully detained Americans and Venezuelan
political prisoners

So, tried the carrot instead of stick for 6 months and then decided the stick was better, eh?
Sounds good to me.

Just like it is none of America's business to question their own elections

In other words, Shut the hell up America!!
