According to sources, the Trump administration and Venezuelan officials are exploring ways to unfreeze billions of dollars of frozen assets overseas, with the aim of helping Venezuela recover from the two earthquakes while avoiding additional burdens on US taxpayers. Sources said the plan was designed to help the Venezuelan government rebuild the economy without Washington using funds other than the 386 million dollars already promised. So far, Venezuela is still unable to obtain billions of dollars of capital through the International Monetary Fund, nor can it obtain resources such as gold through the Bank of England or various overseas accounts.
