Did Trump ease Venezuela sanctions for wage protests?

Analysis Reasoning

The Trump administration eased oil sanctions on Venezuela's state-owned PdVSA and lifted personal sanctions on interim leader Delcy Rodriguez to boost global oil supply amid the Iran war, incentivize U.S. investment in energy, and support economic recovery under new leadership after Maduro's capture. No sources mention addressing protests over low wages or specific relief for state banks like Banco Central de Venezuela to use U.S. dollars. The claim fabricates reasons (protests over low wages) and details (state banks accessing dollars) absent from evidence; actual easing targeted oil sector for U.S. energy needs and post-Maduro transition. Sources consistently cite oil supply boosts and investment, not wage protests or central bank access. Kernel of truth in general sanctions easing exists, but distortions make it false.
