By Alex Leary and Collin Eaton

President Trump said he would impose a 25% tariff on any country that purchases oil or gas from Venezuela, an arrangement that could allow Chevron to continue to continue to do business there.

Trump didn't mention Chevron in a social-media post Monday but the company had lobbied for a reversal of an administration decision to revoke its license to operate in Venezuela. The tariff idea was discussed during a White House meeting last week with Trump and Chevron CEO Mike Wirth.

The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for additional details. Chevron declined to comment.
