<h1>U.S. Government Ends Chevron's Venezuelan Oil Permit Amid Maduro's Alleged Democratic Failures in 2024 Elections.</h1> The U.S. government, under President Donald Trump, has decided to terminate a permit allowing Chevron Corp. to pump and export Venezuelan oil, cutting off a crucial financial source for Venezuela. This decision follows accusations against President Nicol'as Maduro's government for failing to meet democratic conditions in the 2024 presidential election and not expediting the return of deported immigrants. The permit, initially issued by the Biden administration to support democratic restoration, reportedly provided Maduro's government with approximately $4 billion. Chevron stated it is assessing the implications of this decision, while Venezuela has yet to respond.
