The Trump administration has received more than $13 billion in revenue this year from the sale of Venezuelan oil, but has provided virtually no public explanation regarding the ultimate destination or use of these funds. Financial Times writes about this.
The Venezuelan government created a website to track revenue generated from U.S.-regulated oil sales, but so far the site contains only one entry: a $300 million transfer completed in March.
The United States took control of Venezuela’s oil exports and suspended some sanctions in January, after overthrowing Nicolás Maduro and appointing Delcy Rodríguez as vice president.
However, six months after the United States took control of these funds, economists note that signs of economic recovery in Venezuela remain relatively weak.
The lack of returned funds is seen as a potential sign that Washington is not returning the full amount of the revenue to Caracas.
U.S. lawmakers from both political parties have begun pressuring the administration to clarify where the money went and what measures are being taken to prevent corruption in its distribution.
