The administration of President Joe Biden rejected a plea from Venezuela’s illegitimate dictator, Nicolás Maduro, to lift sanctions imposed on his socialist regime by former President Donald Trump, a State Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times.
In an interview with Bloomberg last week, Maduro called on Biden to lift U.S. sanctions and end the “demonization of Venezuela.” The State Department spokesperson rejected the request, saying that Maduro needs to do more to restore democracy before any changes in policy by the United States.
