    According to foreign media reports, a tanker carrying 650,000 barrels of Venezuelan crude oil is about to sail to Europe, which is the first time Venezuela has exported crude oil
    to Europe in the past two years under US sanctions.
    This seems to be a loosening of sanctions on Venezuela, but the essence is that the United States is playing its own wishful thinking
    .
    Venezuelan oil experts pointed out that the US move is intended to fill the European energy gap caused by the oil sanctions against Russia, confirming that the US sanctions against Venezuela are purely out of political self-interest
    .

    Miguel Haymez, Venezuelan oil expert: Everything makes way for the interests of war, and it will have very serious consequences for Europe, such as the rise in oil prices, fuel, gas, food, medicine and migration problems that we are seeing now, which are getting worse in Europe
    .

    Faced with a serious domestic energy crisis, Western countries have to speed up the search for alternative sources of Russian
    oil.
    Earlier this year, the United States reached out to Venezuela to try to resume oil imports from Venezuela to fill the country's shortfall
    .
    Experts pointed out that the move of the United States to restart oil trade with Venezuela in order to sanction Russia confirms that the US sanctions are completely out of political self-interest
    .

    Venezuela is rich in oil resources, ranks among the highest in the world in crude oil reserves, and oil exports are also one of the pillars of
    the country's economy.
    In 2020, the United States publicly supported the opposition on the grounds of electoral fraud in Venezuela and imposed strict sanctions on
    Venezuela.
    According to Venezuelan government estimates, the unilateral illegal sanctions imposed by the United States on Venezuela have cumulatively caused more than $100 billion in economic losses
