npr.org/2024/04/17/1245374275/us-reimposes-venezuela-oil-sanctions
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Pollution in Venezuela's Lake Maracaibo threatens life in one of the world's oldest lakes
apnews.com/article/lake-maracaibo-venezuela-pollution-fishermen-ca80fea76eece2e733285d44b8dbdd80
Quick Glance: Pollution threatens life in ancient Lake Maracaibo
- Chemicals like fertilizers, sewage, and others are discharged into the lake, resulting in high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus.
- This has led to the growth of cyanobacteria like microcystin, which produces 95% of the locally called 'verdin,' a greenish, toxic microalgae that covers much of the lake.
- Constant oil spills and trash have turned Lake Maracaibo into a green toxic pool.
- The pollution of Lake Maracaibo has been a problem for decades, but now it is affecting the coast with bad smells, oil spills, and microalgae.
