The Cisneros heirs say the Venezuelan government seized their 40% stake in Petrodelta, an oil venture. They claim losses of about US$2 billion in rights and investments, which would end their role in Venezuelan oil. A Spanish report links the move to Delcy Rodriguez and the Trump administration, but that connection is not confirmed.
