Why would Trump ignore the country he was voted to lead to help Vsnezuela, even though they don’t want him to help? He doesn’t have anything more important to work on?
They control Citco. In 1983, Citgo and the Citgo brand was sold by Occidental to Southland Corporation, owners of the 7-Eleven chain of convenience stores; 50% was sold to Petróleos de Venezuela in 1986, and the remainder in 1990.
Valero Energy Corporation was created on Jan. 1, 1980, as the corporate successor of LoVaca Gathering Company, a subsidiary of the Coastal States Gas Corporation. Their main offices are in San Antonio, TX.
But OI do agree with one thing, quit buying Venezuela’s petroleum and let’s see how hard talking they will get. Especially when they get hungry.

Yes, Trump just helped Maduro in a major way. I wonder why.
I believe I read that Venezuelan (Mexican as well?) Crude is Heavy and has to me mixed with Light Crude from the U.S. in order to be marketable.
Citgo stations around the gulf state changed to Valero and they still get very little business because people still remember them as citgo. I don’t see how they stay open. Meanwhile BP places changed to Marathon, but have few customers either.
Very few BP’s left in FL, at least on the Gulf Coast. Primarily Marathon and Shell are replacing them.
Perhaps the $500,000.00 from Citgo for Mr. Trump's Inauguration?

How exactly did Trump ‘help’ Maduro?
There’s a Shitgo nearby. Proactively avoid using it, as does wife.
He gave Maduro a chance to “stand up” to the United States. That is what plays there.
Wait a minute.
Valero is Israeli...............NOT Venezuelan.......
I hope the Venezuelan people do a “Ceaucescu” on Maduro, his top aides and military Marxist traitors.
Been too long a time since we saw a communist murderer get real justice.
I want to see lots of pictures of him upside down and dead.
They’ve legally made Citgo collateral to Russia on loans they owe them. If you boycott Citgo you might end up boycotting a Russian company very soon.
Whatever their past connections, I don’t think there is any current relationship between CITGO and Valero.
I am pretty sure Valero was and possibly still is the operator of the largest refining capacity in America
There is no connection to Citgo that I can find
Wiki
Valero Energy Corporation is a Fortune 500 international manufacturer and a marketer of transportation fuels, other petrochemical products, and power. It is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, United States.[2] The company owns and operates 16 refineries throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and the Caribbean with a combined throughput capacity of approximately 3 million barrels (480,000 m3) per day, 11 ethanol plants with a combined production capacity of 1.2 billion US gallons (4,500,000 m3) per year, and a 50-megawatt wind farm. Before the 2013 spinoff of CST Brands, Valero was one of the United States’ largest retail operators with approximately 6,800 retail and branded wholesale outlets in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and the Caribbean under the Valero, Diamond Shamrock, Shamrock, Ultramar, Beacon, and Texaco brands.[3]
Venezuelan heavy crude is loaded with Vanadium, Nickel, and Sulfur. Sells at a discount for the extra processing required to transport and refine.
