Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro urged the US to ease more sanctions on the country’s beleaguered oil industry, saying a license allowing Chevron Corp. to increase production was a first step.

“The licenses, all of them, the public ones and the non-public ones, granted by the US government for Chevron are on the right track,” Maduro said in press conference in Caracas Wednesday in his first public comments on the matter. “But they are not enough for what Venezuela demands.”
