PANAMA CITY, PANAMA (By Piero Stewart, Energy Analytics Institute, 2.Dec.2025, Words: 393) — Venezuela’s government classified the sale of Citgo Petroleum as a “multifaceted fraudulent aggression.”
Venezuela’s vice president Delcy Rodríguez said the Caribbean country firmly rejected the recent decision of a US court that allows for what she called the “forced sale” of Citgo Petroleum — a Houston-based company involved in refining, transportation, and marketing of petroleum products. Rodríguez considered the action a “plunder” of a strategic asset of the Venezuelan people.
