US EditionState Dept Says Chevron Must Leave Venezuela, Even as American Freed
- Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced that Chevron’s license to export oil from Venezuela expired as planned on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
- This expiration contradicts earlier reports and statements by Trump envoy Ric Grenell, who had suggested a 60-day extension might occur.
- The license revocation follows increased sanctions by the Trump administration amid ongoing tensions over Venezuela policy and efforts to curb Maduro's regime and its criminal ties.
- In April, Venezuela's crude and fuel shipments dropped by almost 20% to approximately 700,000 barrels per day, marking a nine-month low, as tightening sanctions and PDVSA's cancellation of shipments impacted exports.
- The license expiration signals a firmer U.S. Stance against Maduro's government, likely reducing Venezuelan oil shipments further and reinforcing sanctions aimed at weakening the regime.
