Biden Concedes Defeat, Restores Sanctions on Venezuelan Oil
Biden Concedes Defeat, Restores Sanctions on Venezuelan Oil

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.

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.

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.
