    The President of the United States has decided to continue the national emergency concerning Venezuela for another year. This situation was initially declared in Executive Order 13692 in 2015 due to concerns about human rights issues, political persecution, restrictions on the press, and corruption in Venezuela. Since there has been no improvement in these conditions, the emergency status, which poses a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy, will remain in effect. The decision will be documented in the Federal Register and shared with Congress.

    Simple Explanation

    The President has decided to keep America on alert because things are still not getting better in Venezuela, where there are problems like bullying, unfair treatment, and people in charge breaking rules. This alert helps keep America safe and on good terms with other countries.
