Venezuela representatives and US officials have met to discuss the auction of Citgo Petroleum's assets. The auction, which includes Citgo's Texas refinery in Corpus Christi, is set to close on Tuesday. This refinery, Citgo's smallest and least profitable, has gained significant attention as it could be a breakout candidate in the auction. Consortia are targeting this prized asset as part of the bidding round. The sale is part of a court-ordered process to pay over $20 billion in Venezuela-related claims. Meanwhile, Venezuela's opposition is increasing lobbying efforts in Washington to persuade the Biden administration to intervene in the sale of Citgo's parent company.
