US Treasury Grants New Venezuela Licenses for Services and Citgo

The first two licenses authorize specific transactions involving telecommunications and mail, alongside the supply of essential items and services for Conviasa, the Venezuelan flag carrier. These adjustments represent a calibrated shift in how American regulators approach logistical and commercial operations tied to the country's state enterprises.

Simultaneously, officials confirmed a waiver extension protecting Citgo Petroleum. This safeguard remains active until August 4, preventing creditors from moving against the refinery’s assets. By maintaining this protection, the government continues to preserve the legal status quo for the Houston-based entity despite the ongoing volatility surrounding Venezuela’s broader economic landscape.
