Trump signs executive order meant to protect money from Venezuelan oil
US President Donald Trump's new executive order on Venezuelan oil revenue is meant to ensure that the money remains protected from being used in judicial proceedings.
The executive order, made public on Saturday, says if the funds were to be seized for such use, it could “undermine critical US efforts to ensure economic and political stability in Venezuela”.
The order comes amid caution from top oil company executives that the tumult and instability in Venezuela could make the country less attractive for private investment and rebuilding.
“If we look at the commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it's uninvestable,” said Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, the largest US oil company, during a meeting convened by Trump with oil executives on Friday.
During the session, Trump tried to assuage the concerns of the oil companies and said the executives would be dealing directly with the US, rather than the Venezuelan government.

FIR filed to identify 'VIPs' in Ankita Bhandari murder case
Uttarakhand Police on Saturday filed an FIR to identify alleged 'VIPs' in connection with the Ankita Bhandari murder case, officials said. The development came a day after the state government recommended a CBI probe into the matter.
The FIR was lodged at the Vasant Vihar police station in Dehradun on a complaint filed by Padma Bhushan-awarded environmentalist Anil Prakash Joshi to the director general of police.
Joshi, in the complaint, has stated that the criminals involved in Ankita's murder have been convicted, but allegations are being made that evidence has been concealed or destroyed.
An investigation into the crime involving an unidentified person, described as a "VIP," is necessary to ensure complete justice, he added.
Based on the complaint, the police registered an FIR under sections 238, 249 and 45 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Meanwhile, former Chief Minister Harish Rawat said that the FIR should have been filed by Ankita's parents.
