The vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, condemned US President Donald Trump’s measure revoking the oil licenses that allowed the US-based multinational oil corporation Chevron to operate in Venezuela.
In her message, issued on Wednesday, February 26, Vice President Rodriguez called the decision harmful and inexplicable.
“Today, February 26, the government of the United States has made an inexplicably harmful decision,” she wrote in the statement. “By announcing sanctions against the US company Chevron, intending to harm the Venezuelan people, it is actually inflicting harm to the United States, its population, and its companies, as well as calling into question the legal security of the international investment regimen of the United States.”

“The constitutional government of Venezuela and its people, in great national unity, categorically condemn these types of actions that have been publicly asked for by the country’s extremist and failed opposition,” she added. “Venezuela highlights that these types of failed actions provoked the migration crisis of the years 2017 to 2021, with its widely known consequences.”
“Venezuela will continue its path of integral economic recovery with the creative effort of all and in absolute adherence to its sovereignty and national independence,” she continued.
“As one of the liberators of South America, José Gervasio Artigas, said, ‘Let us expect nothing from anyone but ourselves,'” she concluded.
