Biden is shamefully selling out democracy in Venezuela — for oil

The Biden team is selling out Venezuela’s democratic opposition.

After months of secret negotiations, in October the Biden administration suspended many US sanctions on the South American dictatorship.

The oil and gas sector and gold mining, both critical to regime revenue, were freed from sanctions by a license to operate for an initial six months.

There were two goals, Team Biden said: to free American hostages the Maduro regime holds and to induce the regime to allow free elections in 2024.

The hostage exchanges have taken place.

Venezuela released several Americans it had unjustly jailed.

The Biden administration released Alex Saab, a key money launderer for the regime who had been captured in Cape Verde (while in transit to Iran) in 2020 and extradited to the United States.

Saab was charged with stealing hundreds of millions of dollars.
