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.

The Trump administration revoked Chevron’s Biden-era license to pump oil in Venezuela earlier this year. The move was championed by hard-line critics of President Nicolás Maduro’s government, including Rubio and key Florida Republicans in Congress, whose support Trump needed for his sweeping domestic policy package.
