The Trump administration has reversed its previous ban and is now allowing Chevron to resume oil production in Venezuela, marking a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy. This move is expected to boost crude supplies for U.S. refiners and could ease some pressure on global oil prices, which have recently fallen amid rising inventories and supply concerns. The decision comes with conditions to limit benefits to the Maduro regime, reflecting Washington's balancing act between energy needs and political pressure. Oil markets reacted with price drops as traders anticipated increased Venezuelan output. The policy change signals a pragmatic approach to energy security, even as it stirs debate over U.S. dealings with Venezuela's government.
