Venezuela's gold and foreign assets remain a subject of dispute due to sanctions and political tensions surrounding the country. Caracas now claims it needs them to fund disaster relief. Further developments will depend on the response of the British side, the International Monetary Fund, and on whether a legal or political mechanism can be found to release the funds. France24 ↗
