Venezuela

Venezuela is a South American country currently undergoing significant political and economic shifts. It's newsworthy due to recent US involvement, including the reopening of the US diplomatic mission after seven years and claims that India will now buy Venezuelan oil. These developments follow the US abduction of President Nicolas Maduro. In response to pressure, Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez has announced an amnesty bill potentially releasing hundreds of political prisoners and is privatizing the oil sector. This move comes after a direct US attack and President Trump's stated interest in Venezuela's oil reserves. The situation raises questions about US influence and potential imperialism in Latin America, while also impacting Cuba, which faces potential US tariffs for receiving Venezuelan oil.
