Venezuela On Wednesday, 18 Democratic Party senators urged President Joe Biden to continue pursuing dialogue with the Venezuelan government and, in support of that process, to consider lifting the economic sanctions against it. “The U.S. government has already lifted many sanctions against the Maduro regime. This request only seeks to cover what Biden proposes to announce very soon," alleged Rubio, who is widely known for its aggressive policy against Cuba and Venezuela.  A  trip to Caracas by a White House delegation in March raised the prospect of sanctions relief to resume supplies of Venezuelan extra-heavy crude to U.S. refineries in an attempt to offset the impact of blocking Russian hydrocarbon imports. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio then sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to publicly reaffirm the United States’ existing policy toward Venezuela and invite the interim government to the upcoming Summit of the Americas.  Also last week, deputy foreign minister, Isadora Zubillaga, has warned that the west must not backslide into aiding the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, or it will hand victory to an autocratic alliance led by Vladimir Putin and weaken the democratic cause in Europe and Venezuela. The last attempt at talks between supporters of Guaidó and supporters of Maduro, brokered by Norwegian officials, ended in October when the government withdrew after a high-profile Maduro adviser, Alex Saab, was extradited to the U.S. to face charges of alleged money laundering. Zubillaga also indicated the intention of the opposition to return to the negotiating table.

Argentina In Argentina, thousands took to the streets of Buenos Aires Thursday to protest the country’s soaring living and food costs. They’re demanding the government of President Alberto Fernández improve social aid programs, and have spoken out against Argentina’s repayment of a $44bn debt with the International Monetary Fund, which they say largely burdens the people, France 24 reported.
