The Trump administration this year revoked Chevron’s Biden-era license to pump oil in Venezuela, saying that Maduro was not legitimately elected and had refused to accept deportation flights, the Wall Street Journal reported. The move was championed by critics of Maduro’s government, including Rubio.

The US restored Chevron Corp.’s ability to pump oil in Venezuela, reversing a decision made just two months earlier when the Trump administration was seeking to exert more pressure on the regime of President Nicolas Maduro.
