The United States on Tuesday eased sanctions against Venezuela’s central bank in the Trump
administration’s latest move to build ties with the oil-rich Latin American giant after toppling
its longtime leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Treasury Department issued a license authorizing commercial links with the central bank
and other institutions including Banco Universal, Banco Digital de los Trabajadores and
Banco del Tesoro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move will allow the Venezuelan banks to engage in previously restricted financial
transactions such as wire transfers, credit and debit card services and other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes two weeks after the United States lifted sanctions against Venezuela’s
interim President Delcy Rodriguez, who took power after Washington ousted her predecessor
Nicolas Maduro in a military operation in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ties between Washington and Caracas have warmed since Maduro’s ouster, with Rodriguez
complying with US President Donald Trump’s demands for Caracas to open up its energy
industry to American companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States has eased a seven-year-old oil embargo on Venezuela and issued licenses
allowing a handful of multinationals to operate in the country under certain conditions.
The US embassy in Venezuela also resumed operations last month after being closed for
seven years.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
