Chevron expands operations in Venezuela amid Trump deal

Chevron is expanding its operations in Venezuela, investing over $7 billion to develop oil reserves. This decision follows President Trump's announcement of a deal to enhance U.S. involvement in Venezuela's oil industry. Chevron aims to double its production to around 600,000 barrels per day by 2026, despite concerns about the country's political instability and the legal authority of its acting president.
