President Nicolás Maduro strongly addressed recent remarks by Chevron CEO Mike Wirth, who warned of risks to U.S. energy security if the company withdraws from Venezuela. Maduro affirmed that the real damage is being done to Chevron due to sanctions imposed by extremist sectors in both the United States and Venezuela, which seek to undermine the historic relationship with the company.

Maduro recalled that the sanctions were driven by Venezuela’s fascist far-right and extremist sectors in the U.S., who applaud measures that harm Chevron and, consequently, the economies of both Venezuela and the United States. The president called these actions “nonsense” and directly blamed the Trump administration for breaking the agreement with the oil giant.

On his program “Con Maduro +,” the president highlighted that after discussions with oil workers, Venezuelan oil production is not only stable but poised to increase. Maduro reiterated that Venezuela will strictly honor its contractual agreements with Chevron, guaranteeing the continuity and expansion of oil production and commercialization.
