The Venezuelan government and the country's opposition are getting ready to resume political talks after more than a year this weekend in Mexico, according to three people close to the matter on Wednesday.
The United States is preparing an extended license for Chevron Corp's oil operations in Venezuela if the expected meeting between the Venezuelan government and the opposition takes place, the three sources said.
Talks were abandoned in October 2021 after delegations representing President Nicolas Maduro and the opposition led by Juan Guaido made no progress on resolving the nation's political crisis, which has prompted over 7 million Venezuelans to leave the country in the last decade.
