Statement on Venezuela
Published on
9 Jan 2026
At the request of the US government, Trafigura and Vitol are providing logistical and marketing services to facilitate the sale of Venezuelan oil.
Trafigura's scale and capabilities as one of the world’s largest independent oil traders, combined with our global shipping fleet and logistics network, position us among the very few companies able to execute an operation of this size and complexity efficiently.
Trafigura operates in full compliance with applicable sanctions and holds all necessary licences to perform these transactions.
