VENEZUELA WORKING WITH U.S. TO EXPORT OIL Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodríguez is cooperating with the U.S. to export 30–50 million barrels of sanctioned oil, with PDVSA and partners like Chevron negotiating shipments.

Legal recognition of Rodríguez’s government and payment channels remain challenges, while long-term oil recovery will require massive investment. U.S. energy companies are showing strong interest in investing and expanding production.(*Walter Bloomberg)
