Trump pulls Chevron license to export Venezuela oil, reversing Biden deal

“President Donald Trump said Wednesday the United States will end the Biden administration’s concessions aimed at promoting free elections in Venezuela, canceling a license that allowed U.S. oil company Chevron to produce and export oil in the country.”

“Chevron’s oil exports out of Venezuela reached 294,000 barrels a day in January, the highest level since it resume shipments from its operations there in early 2023, Reuters reported earlier this month citing data from Venezuela’s state-owned company PdVSA. That crude oil went to refineries in the United States, according to the data.

Venezuela produced just over 1 million barrels a day of oil in January, according to data it reported to OPEC.”
