U.S. Lifts Sanctions on Venezuela's Assembly President

Original: U.S. lifts sanctions on Venezuela's National Assembly president https://www. upi.com/Top_News/World-News/20 26/10/14/lat

The U.S. Treasury Department has lifted personal economic sanctions on Jorge Rodríguez, president of Venezuela's National Assembly. The move marks a notable shift in Washington's approach toward the government of Nicolás Maduro, whose officials have long been targets of American sanctions over disputed elections and democratic backsliding. Observers are watching whether the step signals broader diplomatic engagement between the two countries.

Why now: It signals a possible thaw in U.S.–Venezuela relations under an administration that has previously imposed heavy sanctions on Caracas.
