The Trump administration is considering an extension of Chevron Corp.’s waiver to operate in Venezuela, albeit with even greater limitations, according to people familiar with the matter.
The 90-day sanctions reprieve would allow Chevron to continue its role as the last major U.S. oil producer in the nation beyond the Oct. 25 expiration date. Still, the Treasury Department wants to advance its “maximum pressure strategy” to further limit Venezuela’s crude production, the people said.
