US EditionVenezuela says $300-mn US oil sale used to prop up currency
Interim leader Delcy Rodriguez will use $300 million from a US-brokered $500 million Venezuelan crude sale to stabilize the bolivar and protect workers' purchasing power.
- On Tuesday, Interim president Delcy Rodriguez confirmed receipt of $300 million from Washington's US-brokered sale of Venezuelan crude and said it will be used to "stabilize" the foreign exchange market and protect workers' purchasing power.
