Critics believe any deal with Maduro would end up costing the U.S. its morals for very little oil in return that would make no impact on gas prices for the average American.
The Biden administration denied plans to relax sanctions on Venezuela to allow American businesses to operate in the country and unfreeze vital financial assets.
Yet, critics warn that for an administration that gives a high priority to human rights any deal with Venezuela is a mistake. President Biden on Thursday admitted the U.S. needs to consider"alternatives" to supply the country with oil. When asked if that included Venezuela, the president said,"There’s a lot of alternatives, we haven’t made up our minds yet."
