By Matt Spetalnick, Marianna Parraga and Timothy Gardner WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was reversing a license given to Chevron to operate in Venezuela by his predecessor Joe Biden more than two years ago,

A permit issued by the United States government allowing energy giant Chevron Corp. to pump and export Venezuelan oil will be terminated this week.

The United States is rescinding a Treasury license allowing Chevron to produce and export oil from Venezuela, despite U.S. sanctions, President Donald Trump said Wednesday, because President Nicolás Maduro was not legitimately elected and has not accepted Venezuelans deported from this country fast enough.
