According to the agency, one license allows “commercial-related negotiations of contingent contracts” with the Venezuelan government — meaning companies can discuss and prepare deals, but cannot execute them without separate approval.A second license authorizes certain financial services transactions involving the central bank and several state-linked banks, including account operations, transfers, and US dollar–denominated services. The measures do not lift core sanctions and do not automatically permit oil trade, but open limited channels for financial interaction and preliminary commercial engagement.
