Maryland’s Hogan takes aim at Biden over potentially lifting sanctions on Venezuelan oil
March 29, 2022 | Maryland
EXCLUSIVE: Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland is in Florida on Tuesday, meeting with Venezuelan American business leaders and activists, as he urges President Biden not to relax oil sanctions on Venezuela.
With domestic gas prices soaring, in part due to the president’s recent banning of Russian oil imports following Moscow’s deadly invasion of neighboring Ukraine, White House and State Department officials traveled to Caracas earlier this month to meet with Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, in a potential effort to secure alternative oil supplies.

But Hogan, in a statement shared first with Fox News, will argue while in Florida that “the energy crisis cannot be solved by robbing the people of Venezuela of their dreams of freedom. That’s not what America stands for. Maduro makes common cause with Putin because he is a vicious dictator, not an American ally.”.. (Excerpt from Fox News)
