History

Historical Context

The U.S. imposed an oil embargo on Venezuela in 2019, targeting its state-owned oil company, PDVSA, which accounted for over 90% of the nation's export revenue. This led to a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by years of economic mismanagement and sanctions. Recent discussions on oil production and medical aid shipments indicate a potential thaw in U.S.-Venezuela relations following Nicolás Maduro's capture, suggesting a shift towards diplomatic engagement.
