Venezuela said Wednesday that, with the decision of the US president, Donald Trump, to end the Licenses for crude oil export of the Caribbean country -consisted of its predecessor, Joe Biden, and that benefited the oil company Chevron-, “Actually, damage to the United States is being inflicted, its population and its companies”
Through Telegram, number two of the Chavista administration and head of hydrocarbons, Delcy Rodríguezhe described as “harmful and inexplicable“The measure, with which, in addition, according to the official, it is put in”Interdicted the legal certainty of the United States in its international investment regime”
These licenses will cease to be in force as of March 1, according to Donald Trump, who criticized the “Regime” by Nicolás Maduro for not having accelerated the deportation of violent criminals“That, according to him, Caracas sent to the United States and that they should have been repatriated”at a fast pace”
On behalf of the Maduro Administration -investide last January by the Chavista National Assembly (AN, Parliament) For a third term, after his questioned re-election in July 2024-, Rodríguez rejected “categorically this type of actions“That,” they said, “were”Publicly requested by the extremist and failed opposition of the country. ”
