Imagine being an oil rich country but you have to get fuel from halfway around the globe. The left loves Venezuela and this is what they are trying to do in the United States. Long lines, confusion as Venezuela sells Iranian fuel under new price system CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela on Monday launched a fuel pricing system that largely rolls back decades of heavy subsidies, creating long lines and leaving drivers confused as the government seeks to end chronic shortages with gasoline imports from Iran. Cheap fuel was for decades considered a birthright in the South American oil producing nation, but service stations have run dry in recent months due to Venezuela's dysfunctional refineries and U.S. sanctions meant to force President Nicolas Maduro from power. Defying U.S. threats, Iran sent a flotilla of five tankers of fuel to Venezuela, which arrived last week, and Tehran said on Monday it would send more if requested by Caracas.
