US Treasury extends license shielding Venezuela-owned Citgo from creditors through May 5
→Creditors barred from enforcing claims against Citgo until May 5, 2026
Change
US Treasury Department has extended a licence that bars creditors from enforcing claims or seizing assets of Venezuela-owned Citgo Petroleum until May 5, 2026.
Why it matters
The licence prevents creditors from pursuing enforcement actions or seizures against Citgo Petroleum while it remains valid. The licence posting appeared on the US Treasury Department website on March 19, 2026.
Implications
- — Creditors' enforcement teams and bond trustees must halt filings and execution of collection remedies against Citgo immediately — enforcement attempts before May 5, 2026 will be barred by the extended US Treasury licence and cannot produce successful seizures while it remains in effect.
