Venezuela: Caracas says flexibilization of sanctions "is not enough" and calls for total suspension

The Venezuelan government, through Caracas, considered that the flexibilization of sanctions imposed by the United States is not sufficient and called for the total suspension of the punitive measures. Washington decided to ease the sanctions regime applied to the Venezuelan oil and mining sectors, as well as to the country's public financial system. The Venezuelan response comes following this unilateral American decision, which apparently did not meet the expectations or demands made by the Nicolás Maduro administration. This episode fits within the context of prolonged diplomatic tensions between the two countries and the history of sanctions imposed by the US over the past few years.
