Facing the imminent withdrawal from Venezuela of U.S. oil giant Chevron Corp. , strongman Nicolás Maduro is rolling out the red carpet to other foreign oil companies, saying that all of them would be welcome to set up shop in the South American country.

Venezuela's exports of crude and fuel rose in February to their highest since November, vessel monitoring data showed, as the U.S. prepared to terminate a key license that allows oil major Chevron to operate and ship crude from the country.

The Treasury Department moved Tuesday to formally rescind a Biden-era license allowing Chevron to pump oil in Venezuela, giving the company 30 days to wind down operations as the Trump administration pressures President Nicolás Maduro.
