Venezuela's attorney Tarek William Saab says the general amnesty promoted by Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez should cover both opponents and government supporters, after a meeting between lawmakers and representatives of legal system. "It has to benefit all sectors of Venezuelan society: opponents, pro-government supporters, sectors that have been in conflict for all these years," Saab tells reporters outside the Legislative Palace in Caracas.

Venezuelan lawmakers adopt a bill that throws its oil industry open to private investors, in line with US demands following the toppling of leader Nicolas Maduro. One hour after the law's passing, the United States eased sanctions on Venezuela's oil industry, expanding the ability of US companies to operate in the country which holds a fifth of the world's oil reserves. Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez hails the reform as a "historical leap."
