🗣 OPINION | The Trump Administration’s Foreign Policy Menu on Venezuela
🇻🇪🇺🇸 Trump’s policies on Venezuela are once again rooted in imperialism, from government-change attempts with “Guaidó 2.0” to harsher sanctions targeting oil. As stated in the latest opinion piece of VA, Ricardo Vaz writes, “Regime change in Caracas remains the ultimate goal for the US, pursued through economic warfare.”
His focus on migration only worsens the crisis, ignoring the root causes. Despite this, the Venezuelan people’s resistance continues.

📑🖊 OPINION | Trump’s Latin American Policies Go South

Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua face sanctions, trade barriers, and deportation rollbacks. Despite this, these nations are forging alliances with China, resisting economic pressure, and winning small victories, like Venezuela’s release of 252 citizens from a Salvadoran prison. Meanwhile, Trump’s actions in Brazil and Panama have triggered protests and backlash.

📰 NEWS | US Senate Rejects Resolution to End Military Strikes Near Venezuela
The US Senate has narrowly rejected a resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct military strikes near Venezuela. The 48–51 vote, led by Senators Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff, sought to require congressional approval for further attacks on alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean.
The decision follows the Trump administration’s suspension of diplomatic contact with President Nicolás Maduro and a classified Justice Department opinion granting the president wide latitude to authorize lethal force against alleged cartels.
Washington currently has over 10,000 troops stationed across the Caribbean in what it calls an anti-drug operation. Caracas has warned of possible US military escalation.

📑🖊 OPINION | Trump’s Détente with Venezuela
On January 31, US presidential envoy Ric Grenell met with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, marking a shift in US-Venezuela relations after years of hostility. The visit coincided with Washington’s automatic renewal of Chevron’s license to operate in the country. However, just days later, the US cut the wind-down period of the license from six months to 30 days, potentially signaling a return to regime change tactics.

📰 NEWS | Maduro Rejects US ‘Economic Hegemony’ as Trump Touts Sanctions, Tariffs Impact
President Nicolás Maduro warned that the US aims to “enslave” countries through trade wars and economic coercion, calling for resistance ahead of Venezuela’s May 25 vote. His remarks came as Donald Trump said Venezuela “has no money” due to sanctions and secondary tariffs targeting oil-related trade. Chevron must end operations by May 27 under new US rules.

Насколько санкции (экономически) эффективны?
Чтобы понять, насколько экономические санкции помогают или не помогают достичь целей, которые есть у вводящих их стран, требуется проанализировать широкую литературу по вопросу. Новая статья мета-анализа (2021) пробует проверить, правда ли опубликованные статьи демонстрируют статистически значимый эффект от санкций.
Исследуются статьи с 1985 по 2018 годы, и три основных переменных влияния - торговые связи (trade linkage), длина санкций (sanction duration) и предшествующие отношения стран (prior relations). Предварительный анализ демонстрирует, что вроде бы значимое влияние есть, но проблемой оказывается то, что статьи страдают от так называемого "публикационного смещения" (publication bias). Именно, результаты статей, которые дошли до журналов, оказываются сдвинутыми в сторону гипотезы о значимом влиянии, а это означает, что "природный эффект" скорее около нуля, чем положительный.
То есть - вероятно, что экономические санкции могут оказаться неэффективными для целей, которые ставят перед собой страны, их вводящие.

💢 L'Union européenne pourrait adopter un 21e paquet de #sanctions d'ici à la fin du mandat de l'actuel président du Conseil de l'UE.
🔴Toutefois, un tel scénario n'est pas garanti en raison de la nécessité de parvenir à un accord sur ce paquet de sanctions et de la complexité des négociations, a déclaré Tomas Zdechovsky, député européen.
