Joe Biden Lifts Sanctions on Venezuela, Giving Cuba a Lifeline

The U.S. Department of the Treasury on Monday lifted sanctions on the export of gas to socialist Venezuela, a boon to the dictatorship in Caracas and its patron government in communist Cuba, which struggles to suppress mounting opposition and calls for the regime’s total abolition.

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued a general license number 40, permitting “all transactions and activities related to the exportation or reexportation, directly or indirectly, of liquefied petroleum gas to Venezuela” as well as the socialist regime’s state-owned affiliates, specifically rescinding restrictions that then-President Donald Trump imposed via three executive orders in 2018 and 2019. The license remains valid through July 8, 2022.

Joe Xiden has gone full-bore Commie. This is an obvious move to help the Cuban Commie government.

Obama legacy man! In 3 months the Greenspans, Gates, Bezos, Buffett, and Pelosi families will be bulldozing what’s left of Cuba, burying the martyrs, and building beachfront mansions. It’s gonna be the new base for the Swamp Overlords. Closed to regular folks. No unapproved media or Chick-fil-A. Just Starbucks and Circle-Back Vegan Burger joints.

I wonder what word salad will be put out by Jen Psaki about this if the media even bothers to ask?

This is absolutely communist collusion and payback to Venezuela that helped train BLM and AntiFa terrorists last summer.

This.
Is.
Treason.

This should make the Never-Trumpers who hate sanctions pretty happy.

Heh “has gone”. He was there even before his two brain aneurysms in the late 1980s.

Just when you think Cuba might find a way out of Communism, the establishment Communist Venezuela moves in to bring their movement closer to the U.S.

The US wanna be dictator gives the Venezuelan dictator a pass to continue suppressing his people and enrich his coffers and Biden’s future plans for his common people will probably look the same.

Biden and his corrupt, racist party support the Cuban regime but can’t afford to be seen as supporting it.
