"US Reconsiders Sanctions Amid Venezuela's Election Controversy"
TL;DR Summary
The US government has condemned Venezuela's highest court for blocking opposition leader María Corina Machado's presidential candidacy, and is reviewing its sanctions policy in response to the move. The court upheld a 15-year ban on Machado, accusing her of seeking US-imposed economic sanctions on Venezuela, despite her winning a primary backed by the US. This comes after a deal between Maduro's government and the US-backed opposition to hold a fair election in 2024, leading to the easing of some US sanctions.
