Hoy, en Caracas, durante mi visita al Hospital Domingo Luciani y al Hospital Pérez Carreño, he podido comprobar de primera mano cómo los suministros médicos procedentes de los Estados Unidos benefician al pueblo venezolano. El plan de tres fases del @POTUS y @SecRubio ha contribuido a restablecer los lazos entre nuestros países y a reforzar la cooperación en ámbitos fundamentales, como la energía, la generación de electricidad y la atención sanitaria, con el fin de apoyar la estabilización y la recuperación de Venezuela. - JB

On @CNN International today I talked about how the current Trump administration's position on Venezuelan oil and (lack of) transition to democracy is unfortunately not surprising. The role of Qatar in the mediation is pivotal: the announcement of a Qatari-backed Venezuelan to lead the investment into Venezuelan oil & gas investment should be taken seriously. https://t.co/b2IchgGMa0

Thank you @The_Dialogue for featuring my analysis of @MariaCorinaYA relations with @realDonaldTrump and @marcorubio and the likelihood of imminent elections in Venezuela (hint: slim to none).

Venezuelan Barrels
In another sign of the unusual lengths some refiners are going to to obtain crude, Petroperu has bought Venezuelan oil for the first time since 2009.
The company purchased two cargoes of a blend of Venezuelan Merey 16 and West Texas Intermediate pumped from the US Permian Basin from Trafigura, according to Petroperu. The cargoes, a combined million barrels, are set to be delivered in April and May.
Peru’s moves come as it diversifies its crude diet. The country typically buys heavy Ecuadorian oil for its three refineries but now includes Venezuelan barrels after the ouster of strongman Nicolas Maduro and the easing of US sanctions.
Trafigura may tap its stash of Venezuelan crude currently stored in the Caribbean to supply the Andean nation. According to Kpler data, the ship Torm Belis delivered 128,000 barrels of WTI to Curacao in late March, suggesting that Trafigura may use the island as a platform to blend oil and supply Peru.

Delighted to see this in print and my thanks to @_LFI and @LordBlunkett for their support. I call upon @Keir_Starmer to step up and take action to implement the recommendations in this paper and empower @metpoliceuk and MI5 to bring these people to justice and protect our streets.

Thank you, @mehdirhasan and @AJEnglish, for my interview on @AJHeadtoHead. I am indeed “a proud Venezuelan” “who supports Trump’s actions on January 3rd” to remove Maduro. Here’s why: https://t.co/YWPRdjZdgf

Thank you, @mehdirhasan for having me in to discuss #Venezuela, #oil, @realDonaldTrump on #headtohead. You’re a worthy opponent, and I had great fun. I hope the audience finds it good television 📺, too, if we can still use such an old fashioned term. @asymmetricaeu @AJEnglish @marcorubio @usembassyve

The U.S. is sending the first humanitarian shipment to Cuba to help people in need as they continue to recover from Hurricane Melissa. We are working with the Catholic Church and partners to ensure aid reaches the Cuban people directly—not the illegitimate regime. The Trump Administration stands with the Cuban people.

Los EEUU intervinieron contundentemente en Corea del Sur y Japón, dos países destruidos por guerra y muy distintos a la cultura estadounidense, y los ayudó a reconstruir. Ahora Corea del Sur y Japón son dos potencias económicas, tecnológicas, democráticas y soberanas. Venezuela también lo será. @usembassyve @marcorubio
