What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Dominican Republic and Venezuela are exploring direct purchases of petroleum products, specifically liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and AC30 paving asphalt. Following a meeting between their presidents, Luis Abinader’s office stated that state refiner Refidomsa and Venezuela’s PDVSA will work out the details of the transaction. The talks are significant because Venezuelan oil dealings remain subject to US sanctions rules and Treasury licenses.
