The Biden administration faces criticism for its energy policies, particularly regarding oil and gas. The U.S. State Department announced it will not renew the waiver for Venezuela oil sanctions, initially lifted last October to encourage competitive presidential elections in Venezuela. This decision comes as the six-month relief period is set to expire on April 18. Concurrently, the administration has faced backlash for halting future LNG export projects, a move criticized by several lawmakers who argue it undermines U.S. energy leadership and alliances. Additionally, the administration's stance on Alaska's oil and gas sectors has sparked objections from local communities and political figures, who claim it could devastate the state's economy. Meanwhile, the U.S. has extended authorization for certain PDVSA bond transactions.
