Chevron pledges to work with Trump as it cheers 'peaceful' power transition in Venezuela

The Texas-based oil giant Chevron issued a statement Saturday vowing to work "constructively" with the Trump administration to support a "peaceful" transition of power following the U.S. attack on the South American nation and capturing of its president.

Chevron has maintained a presence in Venezuela for more than 100 years, and according to its statement, signaled a readiness to work in tandem with the Trump administration, which is set to run the government of Venezuela until a transition of power can be facilitated.
