The U.S. will consider authorizing the sale of Citgo Petroleum Corp. shares early next year, after the mandate of the Venezuela opposition government ends, according to a court document.

The U.S. Treasury said it may reasses the sale of shares of Citgo’s parent company, PDV Holding Inc., after the term for the opposition-led National Assembly “ends in January 2022,” according to a Sept. 10 letter to creditor Crystallex that was included in a federal court case in Delaware.
