The US may lift additional sanctions on Venezuela as early as next week to facilitate oil sales, Reuters reported, citing an interview with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

“We’re de-sanctioning the oil that’s going to be sold,” Bessent was quoted as telling the news agency. He didn’t identify which curbs may be removed, the report said.
