US Allows Chevron to Resume Oil Operations in Venezuela
Taarek Refaat The administration of President Donald Trump has authorized Chevron Corp. to resume oil production in Venezuela, according to a source familiar with the decision. While full details remain undisclosed, the development follows a prisoner exchange agreement under which 10 American detainees were released from Venezuela, and 250 Venezuelans imprisoned in El Salvador were returned to their country. A key element of the deal is that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's government will not directly benefit from any revenue or taxes, according to the source, who requested anonymity. Following the announcement, oil futures pulled back, as traders weighed the potential increase in global supply. Brent crude rose just 0.1% to $68.57 a barrel as of 1:05 p.m. in New York. The White House did not immediately comment. The decision was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. 'Chevron conducts its global operations in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and U.S. sanctions frameworks, including those related to Venezuela,' Chevron spokesperson Bill Turenne said in a statement. The U.S. had previously revoked Chevron's license to operate in Venezuela earlier this year as part of efforts by President Trump to exert pressure on the Maduro regime. That suspension was welcomed by national security officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio. With the new license, the Houston-based oil major is now authorized to resume production at its Venezuelan sites after operations were halted in May. The move could reintroduce critical U.S. dollars into Venezuela's struggling economy. Chevron's license had become a key bargaining chip in talks between Washington and Caracas. Within the Trump administration, officials were divided: Rubio pushed for a hardline approach, while Special Envoy Ric Grenell and others favored a more transactional relationship. Supporters of the decision argued that excluding U.S. firms would only strengthen China's influence in Venezuela. With oil prices and U.S. energy dominance being central to Trump's agenda, restoring Chevron's operations carried strategic weight. Shortly after taking office in late January, Grenell met with Maduro in Caracas, negotiating the resumption of direct deportation flights and the release of six American prisoners. In May, a seventh U.S. citizen was released, days after a Venezuelan child, whose parents had been deported, was returned to Venezuela from the U.S. Over 8,000 Venezuelans have now been repatriated. Chevron remains a lifeline in Venezuela's battered oil sector. It was the only major U.S. oil firm still active in the country. While the Biden administration granted a limited license in 2022 for Chevron to resume oil production and exports, it restricted operational expansion. Chevron's joint ventures with PDVSA, Venezuela's state oil company, produced over 240,000 barrels per day as of May 27, when the previous license expired. That volume represented roughly 25% of national output, helping to lift the country's total production above 1 million barrels per day. Before sanctions, the U.S. imported around 250,000 barrels per day of Venezuelan crude, primarily for Gulf Coast refineries. Valero Energy, the third-largest U.S. fuel producer, was the largest importer by the end of 2024, followed by Chevron, which processes the oil in its own refineries and sells to others. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

Egypt's FM delivers Al-Sisi message to Niger's leader, seeks deeper security ties
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Niger's leader, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, in Niamey on Wednesday and delivered a written message from President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi aimed at strengthening security and economic ties, Egypt's foreign ministry said. In a statement, the ministry said Abdelatty's visit came as part of a push to enhance cooperation, with the minister conveying Sisi's greetings and stressing that the trip was aimed at supporting Niger based on the historical ties between the two nations. Abdelatty highlighted the strategic importance of Niger's stability for Egypt's national security, describing the Sahel region as a 'natural extension of Egypt's strategic neighbourhood.' He said that growing terrorist threats and the spread of armed groups across the continent necessitated enhanced security cooperation and the exchange of expertise between Egypt and Niger. The talks also focused on expanding economic partnerships. The foreign minister noted that he was accompanied by a high-level delegation of 30 Egyptian business leaders to participate in the first Egyptian-Nigerien Business Forum. The forum aims to boost economic, trade, and investment cooperation, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, construction, and mining sectors. The statement said the discussions covered existing cooperation in combating terrorism and extremist ideology. Abdelatty highlighted the role of Cairo-based institutions, including Al-Azhar, which provides training for Nigerian imams and scholarships for students, as well as the Cairo International Center for Conflict Resolution and the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development (EAPD), which offer capacity-building programmes for Nigerian personnel. For his part, President Tchiani asked Abdelatty to convey his greetings and appreciation to President Sisi, expressing his country's gratitude for Egypt's support in facing its security and development challenges. He also praised Egypt's leading regional and international role and the support provided by Al-Azhar in religious education. The two officials also discussed regional issues, including developments in the Sahel and West Africa and the security challenges posed by the spread of terrorist organisations.

Multiply Group Completes Acquisition of Tendam, Doubling Operational EBITDA and Expanding Global Footprint - Middle East Business News and Information
Tendam is Spain's second-largest apparel group by market share and one of Europe's leading omnichannel apparel groups. Tendam's 12 well-established owned fashion brands offer diversity and international exposure, further deepening the Group's presence in consumer-focused industries. The transaction, valued at AED 5.6 billion (€ 1.3 billion) enterprise value, positions Multiply Group as a key player in the global Retail & Apparel landscape. Multiply Group (ADX: MULTIPLY), the Abu Dhabi-based investment holding company that invests in and operates businesses globally, today completed its first major investment in Europe with the acquisition of a majority stake in Tendam, Spain's second-largest apparel group by market share. The deal doubles Multiply's operational EBITDA post-consolidation and expands its model to acquire standout businesses, unlock potential through capital and tech, and deliver sustained market leadership. As one of Europe's leading omnichannel apparel groups, Tendam operates more than 1,800 points of sale and runs successful digital loyalty programmes in over 80 markets, including Spain, Portugal, France, the UAE, and Latin America, making it well-positioned in the evolving retail landscape. From affordable fashion to premium styles, the company's diversified portfolio of 12 established brands caters to multiple customer segments through its leading fashion brands such as Women'secret, Springfield, Cortefiel and Pedro del Hierro, among others. Multiply now has a majority interest of 67.91% in Castellano Investments S.À R.L. ('Company') (the owner of Tendam Brands S.A.U. and other subsidiaries), with Llano Holdings S.À R.L. and Arcadian Investments S.À R.L., the corporate investment vehicles for CVC Funds and PAI Partners, remaining as minority shareholders. With this investment, Multiply Group deepens its investments in consumer-focused industries and establishes a presence in the retail and apparel sector, with Tendam becoming a platform business under Multiply's Retail & Apparel vertical. Multiply will lead the next growth phase of Tendam. This growth is predicated on further international expansion across Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Embedding AI across all aspects of the business, from sourcing to customer operations, will support this growth journey and will leverage the digital infrastructure the company already has in place. In addition, Multiply will support the business on targeted M&A to introduce new brands and categories. Samia Bouazza, Group CEO and Managing Director of Multiply Group, said: 'This acquisition marks Multiply Group's strategic entry into the retail and apparel sector. By securing a controlling interest in a leading omnichannel platform, we are investing in a future-focused, high-performing business model backed by an outstanding management team. Built on strong, well-established owned brands, the platform offers the agility and vision to expand into new categories and scale emerging brands globally. With our expertise in creating synergies, deploying AI, and driving strategic M&A, we are poised to accelerate growth and unlock long-term value for our shareholders.' From a strategic standpoint, the acquisition offers Multiply Group a significant opportunity to leverage Tendam's strong brand platform and proven performance to drive future growth, supported by favourable consumer tailwinds in the global apparel retail market. Jaume Miquel, Chairman and CEO of Tendam, highlighted: 'Today we are starting a new era. Together, shareholders and management team, will fully deploy the Tendam potential, extending our brands to new formats, markets and channels supported by advanced artificial intelligence and digital technology, delivering stronger growth and profitability through a unique, unrivalled omnichannel brand ecosystem.' Since 2020, driven by its proven management team, Tendam has recorded steady, quarter-on-quarter growth, strengthening its business model in core markets while expanding its international presence. At the end of June 2025, the company reported last twelve months sales of €1.4 billion and EBITDA post-IFRS 16 of €340.7 million. Multiply Group has been advised by Greenhill (a Mizuho affiliate), Hogan Lovells and KPMG on the transaction. Castellano and its current shareholders have been advised by Uria Menendez. Ramón Hermosilla Abogados and Latham & Watkins LLP were legal advisors to Tendam on this transaction. The acquisition of Tendam's businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina will not become effective until it is authorised by the relevant competition authority, which is expected to be received shortly.
