U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering a plan to extend Chevron's license to pump oil in Venezuela by at least 60 days, according to two people familiar with the matter.

President Donald Trump indicated he is open to extending Chevron's license to produce oil in Venezuela during a meeting with oil executives Wednesday, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Trump administration had given Chevron until April 3 to wind down its operations.

(Reuters) - The Trump administration is considering a plan to extend Chevron's license to pump oil in Venezuela and impose financial penalties on other countries that do business with the South American nation, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the discussions.

Donald Trump's administration accused a federal judge on Wednesday of overstepping his judicial authority in demanding more details about deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants in a filing made a day after U.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is moving closer to contempt of court proceedings over Saturday's deportation flights.

A federal judge admonished a Justice Department lawyer for failing to obey his oral order last weekend to have the US government halt deportation flights of alleged Venezuelan gang members who ended up in a prison in El Salvador.
