Venezuela's Maduro government and opposition are expected to announce a resumption of talks as US eases some sanctions to help smooth the way for the negotiations, American officials say
Chevron is the last US oil producer to maintain a presence in Venezuela, home to the world's largest crude reserves.
One action permits US oil firm Chevron to negotiate with the state oil company PDVSA on the terms of any future activities in Venezuela, the official said.After a political stalemate of three years that has seen economic and social conditions in Venezuela drastically deteriorate, Washington wants to encourage Maduro's government to negotiate with its opponents.
"The United States supports a peaceful and negotiated outcome to the Venezuelan political and economic and humanitarian crisis," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.Venezuelan talks had been stalled since October when the US took into custody Colombian businessman Alex Saab, who was accused of laundering money for Maduro's government.
