The Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has said fuel prices in the country should rise to international levels, ending his government policy of petrol subsidies. Mr. Maduro said he was acting because smugglers were cheating the country out of millions of dollars of revenue. Like most oil producing countries, Venezuela has traditionally offered its citizens cheap oil, but its prices hardly changed, despite inflation rates have closed to a million percent.
委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯•马杜罗表示，本国的油价应该涨到国际相同水平，从而终止政府对油价的补贴。马杜罗表示正在采取行动，因为走私者正在偷走国家数百万美元的收入。和其他的产油国家相同，委内瑞拉油价一直很低廉，但油价却几乎没有变动，尽管通胀率接近百分之一百万。
There's been some respite for the Turkish lira, which is trading only marginally lower on Asian markets. Measures introduced by the authorities in Ankara on Monday appear to have stemmed the collapse of the value of the currency. And economic advisor to the White House said the sell-off could not have been prompted by the imposition of additional tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminium exports. One of the main causes of tensions between Turkey and the United States, the detention by Ankara of an American pastor has been discussed at a meeting between the US national security advisor John Bolton and the Turkish ambassador to Washington. A White House official said the fact that discussions have taken place was positive. Earlier, the Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said his country would not bow to pressure from the US. You have to learn that you won't get a result from Turkey by threats and pressure. Is there such a thing as diplomacy, negotiations, political consensus？ In a political consensus, there is no pressure within insistence from one side. Both sides have to sit and meet in the middle. We have this political consensus culture, but it is not possible to accept pressure. The United States has to understand that they can't get anything from Turkey by pressure and sanctions.
土耳其里拉的情况得到了一些缓解，只是在亚洲市场上稍微走低。周一，中央政府采取的措施似乎已经遏制住了货币的贬值。白宫的经济顾问表示，抛售不应该是由于对土出口钢铁和铝征收关税引起的。土耳其和美国紧张关系的主要原因是土政府扣押了一名美国牧师，该问题也在会晤上得到了讨论，美国家安全顾问约翰•博尔顿和土耳其驻美大使举行了会晤。白宫官员称这是一次积极的商讨。之前，土耳其外长梅夫吕特•恰武什奥卢表示他的国家绝不会向美国屈服。你们要明白，威胁和压迫土耳其是解决不了任何问题的。难道没有外交、商讨或是政治共识这些东西吗？在政治共识中，没有单方面施压。双方都应该坐下来进行商议。我们向来接受政治协商，但是绝不接受施压。美国需要明白通过施压和制裁是不会从土耳其得到任何东西的。
