Insights:
The United States USUShas taken direct control of oil exports from Venezuela VEVE, which reached 642,000 barrels per day according to internal PDVSA documents, and redirected the proceeds from an account previously controlled by China CNCNto a new account based in Qatar QAQA. This structural shift primarily involves the flow of Crude Oil WTI and other petroleum products that Venezuelahad been exporting to China. Under previous arrangements, cash proceeds from oil sent to Chinawere deposited into a Beijing-controlled account specifically to manage debt service.
