A U.S.-ordered seizure of a sanctioned Venezuelan tanker has crippled the country's oil business, leaving Chevron as one of the few major players still exporting crude. The move, which targeted a vessel allegedly bound for the black market, has severely impacted Venezuela's ability to ship oil. While other companies have been forced to halt operations, Chevron continues to defy U.S. sanctions, highlighting the complexities of the ongoing conflict. As a result, Venezuela's oil exports have plummeted, exacerbating the country's economic crisis.
