Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday asked the United Nations (UN) to “fulfill its role” to avoid bloodshed in Venezuela, as tensions escalate between the South American country and the United States (US)
Sheinbaum said during her morning press conference that Mexico is against intervention and against foreign interference in Venezuela.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered a “blockade” of all sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, a move that the government of Nicolas Maduro called a “grotesque threat.”
Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PDVSA was on Wednesday resuming oil cargo deliveries at its terminals following a cyberattack this week that affected its centralized administrative systems, sources close to its operations said.
The company was able to isolate oilfields, refineries, ports and other facilities from its central system to resume work.
Workers at terminals are now making a manual record of deliveries to avoid a longer suspension of exports, the sources said.
PDVSA’s joint venture partner Chevron was on Wednesday loading two crude cargoes bound for the US, according to one of the sources and shipping data.
