But the future of Yemen itself remains in question. The Houthis broadly maintain control over the capital of Sanaa and the country’s northwest. Yemen’s exiled government is part of a fractious coalition that for now appears unable to wrest any control back from the rebels. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which launched a war 10 years ago against the Houthis,

The company has become responsible over the past two years for about 20% of Venezuela’s oil production and a regular infusion of U.S. dollars that ultimately helped the government maintain an artificially low currency exchange rate. That rate is crucial to Venezuelans as it determines the prices of food, goods and services.Chevron’s permit, formally known as a general license, was granted by the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden. But under

, the White House rescinded it in February, giving Chevron time to wind down its operations in the South American country and meeting one of Machado’s appeals.The U.S.'s decision to either stick to the rescission, or fulfill Maduro’s wish to extend Chevron’s wind-down period beyond its May 27 expiration date, will have a greater, more immediate effect on Venezuelans than the result of Sunday’s poll.That is because Maduro’s government controls seemingly every aspect of the country, including health and social services, utilities and education. It also

by, for instance, disqualifying a candidate after the election or appointing a ruling-party loyalist to oversee the elected offices held by opposition members, rendering them powerless.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a Machado supporter, on Wednesday posted on X that Chevron’s oil license will expire as scheduled, contradicting statements from Trump’s envoy for special missions,

, who after meeting with Maduro’s negotiators Tuesday said it would be extended by 60 days.

Asked for clarity on Rubio and Grenell’s differing positions, White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said “Secretary Rubio, as Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, is representing the Administration’s position.”Experts said the FAA and other authorities could do more. They suggested creating a system similar to speed cameras on roadways that could capture a drone’s transponder code and send its pilots a ticket in the mail.

They also said the FAA should consider regulations that require all manufacturers to program a drone’s GPS unit to prevent it from flying near airports and other sensitive areas, a method called “geofencing.”DJI, a leading drone maker, used such geofencing restrictions for years. However, it

in January, replacing it with an alert to drone pilots when they approach restricted areas.Adam Welsh, head of global policy at DJI, said managing requests from authorized users to temporarily disable the geofencing became an increasingly time-consuming task. More than one million such requests were processed last year.
