      Gustavo Petro and Lula da Silva had been talking to Biden since they were elected about lifting the sanctions. I think Spain was supporting it too.

          No they didn’t. That was the result of years of absolutely moronic economic and monetary policy combined with a ton of theft by people at the top levels of government and the national oil company.
