UAE emerges as hot bed for companies aiding Venezuela to sidestep U.S. oil sanctions
30 Dec 2020
The United Arab Emirates, a close ally of the United States, has emerged to be a hub for companies trying to help Venezuela circumvent American sanctions, reports Reuters.
In June, the United States placed sanctions on some oil tankers managed by shipping firms in an effort to intensify its attempts at cutting off Venezuelaâs oil trade in hopes of toppling its socialist President, Nicolas Maduro.
Within a matter of weeks, some little-known companies based in the UAE reportedly took over management of several tankers that had already been shipping Venezuelan oil, changed their names, and continued transporting Venezuelan crude.
