As US President Trump ordered the military to forcibly abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Chevron became the sole exporter of Venezuelan oil. Currently, a small fleet of ships booked by the company is sailing to Venezuela. Bloomberg compiled data that at least 11 ships chartered by the US oil giant plan to arrive at the ports of José and Bajo Grande controlled by the Venezuelan government in January. In the context of the US military's heavy military deployment in the Caribbean, at least 12 ships originally scheduled to sail to Venezuela were forced to make a U-turn and leave, while Chevrons continued to load oil.
