The report added that inflation in the country had reached a peak of nearly 10 million percent that year since 2018, which left many unable to feed themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The move by the Biden administration to ease sanctions on Venezuela comes as the administration has been hostile to issuing new drilling permits in the U.S., which has invited intense criticism.<\/p>\n<p>Former White House Economic Adviser Stephen Moore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/biden-allowing-chevron-drill-venezuela-makes-absolutely-no-sense-stephen-moore\">said<\/a> Sunday that the move by the administration makes no sense and puts America last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI literally almost fell out of my chair reading this headline that says we\u2019re going to allow, you know, Chevron to do drilling in Venezuela,\u201d Moore told Fox News. \u201cThis is the same administration that won\u2019t allow us to do drilling here in the United States, not in Texas, not in Oklahoma, not in Alaska, not in West Virginia. But we can pump oil from Venezuela. It makes absolutely no sense. It\u2019s put America last energy policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd by the way, when Trump left office and I helped Trump on energy policy, our whole policy was to make America totally energy independent so we wouldn\u2019t have to rely on countries like Venezuela and Iran and Russia,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd so somebody explain this one to me because it makes no sense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrat President Joe Biden faced backlash over the weekend after his administration announced it would allow Chevron to resume pumping oil in socialist Venezuela.
