The United States on Friday ‌(March 13, 2026) updated waivers to Venezuela ​sanctions aimed ⁠at easing the way for investment and activities related to ‌the country’s oil and the export of ‌fertilizer, as prices ‌rise ⁠amid U.S. strikes on ⁠Iran.

The U.S. Treasury Department issued three updated general licenses on ​Friday (March 13) ‌as part of the move. In a post on X, the department ‌said it “updated several Venezuela-related ​licenses to further support the revitalization of ⁠the country’s energy sector and help ensure a ‌well-supplied global commodity market.”

“These authorizations expand permitted investment and activities in Venezuela’s energy industry and allow for the export ‌of fertilizer directly to ​the U.S. to support our great American ⁠farmers,” the Treasury Department said ⁠in a post on X.
