Trump to Revoke an Oil License in Venezuela
Published On Feb 26, 2025, 5:25 PM
President Trump is set to revoke a license that allowed Chevron to increase oil production in Venezuela, potentially impacting both the company and Venezuela's economy. This reversal of the Biden administration's 2022 policy is due to concerns from Trump regarding the Venezuelan government's handling of criminal deportations to the U.S. While Chevron is reviewing its options, Venezuela's economy, heavily reliant on oil, could face further challenges. The current U.S. oil prices are stable but dependent on domestic production and imports from various sources.

The revocation of Chevron's license could significantly hurt the company's operations in Venezuela, leading to reduced oil production and exports. This may negatively affect Chevron's financial outlook, especially if oil prices fluctuate due to geopolitical tensions.
