Summary
President Donald Trump has decided to extend the national emergency regarding Venezuela for another year, originally declared in 2015. This extension is due to ongoing issues such as human rights violations, political persecution, and government corruption in Venezuela, which continue to threaten U.S. national security and foreign policy. The continuation of this emergency could lead to further sanctions and diplomatic actions, potentially impacting U.S.-Venezuela relations and affecting Venezuelan citizens and businesses with ties to the U.S.
