ft.com/content/85a4e5b9-c536-4bfb-8dee-32bbed60311e
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.

Kennedy family to endorse Biden in show of force against RFK Jr.: Biden advisers are worried RFK Jr. could swing the election.
axios.com/2024/04/18/kennedy-family-biden-endorsement-rfk-jr
Quick Glance: Kennedy Family Backs Biden Over RFK Jr.
- President Joe Biden will accept endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine former President Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family endorsement more than six months from Election Day is an indication of how seriously Biden's team is taking the threat of the long shot bid potentially using his last name’s lingering Democratic magic to siphon off support from the president.
- The Kennedy family's support was expected, given the known political differences with Robert Kennedy Jr., who originally challenged Biden in the Democratic Party and is now running as an Independent.
- Following the official endorsement, Biden and Kennedy family members intended to engage with supporters at a campaign event and were planning outreach efforts on behalf of Biden.

Quick Glance: Turkey: New Foreign Policy as Opportunity for EU and West
- Erdogan shifts towards a more conciliatory foreign policy and re-engages with the West. Europe should support this reorientation as Turkey remains a key player in the region.
- Turkey recently ratified Sweden's NATO membership and was rewarded with the promise of new fighter jets from the US Congress.
- Turkey aims for relaxation in relations with Greece and in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. However, the reliability of this new harmony remains uncertain.
- Turkey relies heavily on the EU economically and seeks a new customs agreement. Its flexible approach in foreign policy is evident, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.

ft.com/content/26654ce0-e9f0-4d26-b098-133e45f38dae
Quick Glance: Ekrem İmamoğlu: The Istanbul Mayor in Confrontation with Erdoğan

thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4594517-trump-posts-hush-money-trial-judge/
Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case
- Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.
- The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.
- The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.
- Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why
apnews.com/article/trump-immigrant-voting-noncitizens-elections-explained-cf4c73b336147b5f5d9c2a22b2564994
Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'
- House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

- Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.
- Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

Erdogan government allowed Turkish soldiers to be killed by ISIS despite being able to rescue them - Nordic Monitor
nordicmonitor.com/2024/04/erdogan-government-left-turkish-soldiers-burned-alive-by-isis-despite-being-able-to-rescue-them/
Quick Glance: Erdogan Government Negligence in Turkish Soldiers' Deaths by ISIS
- The Turkish government allegedly failed to rescue two soldiers before their killing by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in 2016. Their bodies were reportedly buried secretly in a region of Syria controlled by the Turkish intelligence without being brought back to Turkey or informing the families.
- Veteran journalist Adem Yavuz Arslan claimed that Turkish intelligence officials negotiating with ISIS argued that the survival of two more soldiers was not a top priority due to existing casualties. After a video documenting the soldiers' deaths led to public outcry, the government restricted internet access.
- The Turkish General Staff neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the video but visited one soldier's family to declare him a 'martyr.' Further controversies arose from the arrest of the ISIS judge in Turkey responsible for the soldiers' deaths and the involvement of government officials in the negotiations with ISIS.
- Despite evidence linking the Erdogan government to armed jihadist groups, the judge was temporarily released and later sentenced to life imprisonment. This case highlighted the government's controversial dealings with extremist elements and the consequences of negligence in protecting Turkish soldiers.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson
- House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

- Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.

- It is crucial for Erdoğan to maintain the economic course and resist any temptation to return to his detrimental past policies. This would have dire consequences for Turkey. Additionally, there should be no endeavor to utilize state tools to undermine the opposition's achievements.
