Minute30.com .- In a movement that confirms the new direction of relations between Caracas and Washington, Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) reported this Wednesday, January 7, that it is advancing in direct negotiations for the sale of significant volumes of crude oil to the United States.

The announcement, issued from the Venezuelan capital, occurs in a context of maximum political tension, but under a clear premise: the economy and global energy stability are above rhetoric.

Under the “Chevron Scheme”

According to the official statement from the state oil company, the process is being developed under schemes similar to those already operating with the giant Chevron. The negotiation is described as a “strictly commercial transaction” that seeks:

Legality and Transparency: Comply with international standards to avoid sanctions.

Mutual Benefit: Alleviate Venezuela’s internal economic crisis and ensure supply for US refineries.

Energy Stability: Contribute to the global market at a time of high volatility.

The end of oil sanctions?

This announcement suggests that the Government of Donald Trump and the administration of Delcy Rodríguez have reached a quick understanding after Maduro’s departure from the presidential palace. The shipment of crude oil to the US was one of the conditions that Washington had put on the table to normalize relations and allow fresh currency to enter Venezuela.

“PDVSA ratifies its commitment to continue building alliances that promote national development in favor of the Venezuelan people,” dictates the statement dated today in Caracas.

The political impact

For experts, this negotiation is the “litmus test” of the new management in Venezuela. While Maduro faces drug trafficking charges, the oil sector seeks to distance itself from the criminal narrative and once again be the strategic partner of the West.
