17 Dicembre 2025

(Adnkronos) – “Oil and product export operations continue normally. Tankers connected to Pdvsa operations continue to sail in full safety.” Thus, the Venezuelan national oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (Pdvsa) states that Donald Trump’s announcement of a blockade of all tankers departing from Venezuela is having no effect.  

“We tell the US government and its president that we will not be intimidated by his vulgar and arrogant threats,” was the reply from Defense Minister Padrino Lopez, who spoke surrounded by the country’s military leaders.
