- The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer supplying Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, companies servicing the engines, and individuals providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces in the Middle East.

time.com/6968479/kennedy-family-endorse-joe-biden-rfk-jr/
Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia
- President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.
- Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

politico.com/news/2024/04/17/biden-oil-sanctions-venezuela-00152821
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.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
- The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

- Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.
- Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results
- A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.
