US Treasury Permits Certain Venezuelan Gold Transactions

The United States has issued a license authorizing specific transactions involving gold of Venezuela origin, according to an official update from the Treasury Department. This regulatory shift follows a high-profile diplomatic mission by U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who recently visited the South American nation to discuss energy and mineral resources. During his visit, Burgum praised efforts by interim President Delcy Rodriguez to attract foreign investment through legislative reform, echoing sentiments previously expressed by U.S. leadership.
