UK keeps billions of Venezuela's gold reserves frozen amid Maduro's arrest and government shake-up

The UK has decided to keep approximately $1 billion worth of Venezuelan gold reserves frozen at the Bank of England following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro and the appointment of interim leader Delcy Rodríguez. The decision comes despite efforts by some to unfreeze the assets, which were seized during Hugo Chávez's presidency. It is believed that the UK is waiting for further developments in Venezuela before reconsidering its stance.
