Chevron to Venezuela: Pay off your foreign debt and the heck with feeding people
Chevron is requesting that the Biden
administration allow them to purchase oil from Venezuela for the exclusive
purpose of providing that government with cash to pay off its debt to the company.
The money can't go to anything else. And the Biden administration is receptive
to the idea and it only hesitates because it fears losing votes in Florida. The
proposal is asking a lot from Venezuela, a nation that is facing acute
shortages of food and medicine as a result of the U.S.-imposed embargo. It's
all about greed and nothing else. That's nothing new for most of us but the
capitalists and politicians aren't supposed to make it all so obvious.
