Venezuela's Maduro says government must begin charging for gasoline

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Wednesday that the government must begin charging for gasoline, and said he had directed a team of specialists to determine what the price should be.

Maduro added that the government had paid for a recent flotilla of shipments of gasoline from Iran using dollars. The U.S. government had suggested that the South American country likely paid for the shipments using gold.
