The Biden administration is likely to extend sanctions relief for Venezuela until the July 28th election, despite concerns of Maduro rigging the election. Critics argue that Maduro is not allowing real opponents on the ballot, similar to Putin's tactics. There are debates within the administration about reimposing oil sanctions on Venezuela, with some fearing blame from Maduro for restrictions during the upcoming elections.
The Biden administration is considering ways to impose new limits on oil sales by the government of President Nicolás Maduro without increasing the number of Venezuelan migrants, raising U.S. gas prices or angering other Latin American governments. https://t.co/fEFT3wWlNv
Keeping oil prices down is NOT a reason for Biden to refuse to reimpose sanctions on Venezuela's Maduro after Maduro broke all promises (made to get sanctions lifted) to allow a free and fair election. https://t.co/m1jexvgeSn
