Americans are gearing up for a celebratory summer by buying more lipstick, dressy clothing and condoms. And bars are ready to greet them.
During the pandemic, bars faced strict restrictions. Along with restaurants, they were ordered to close their doors for months. When they started to reopen, curfews were set in place, and distancing rules enacted — a challenge for locations designed to allow people to mingle, stay out late and, often, meet others.

Since early December the US Coast Guard and other military branches have boarded and taken control of five oil ships that had previously been sanctioned, all either accused of being in the process of transporting Venezuelan oil or on their way to take on oil that has been subject to US sanctions since President Donald Trump began a pressure campaign against the leadership of the country during his first term.
