Reliance Industries, operator of the world’s largest oil refining complex, Friday said it has never sidestepped US sanctions against Venezuela and has completely stopped supplying fuel to the Latin American nation. Since the imposition of US sanctions, Reliance has been in continuous communication with the US Department of State regarding its activities in Venezuela, the company said in a statement.
“Reliance has been transparent with US authorities and also has provided detailed feedback to the US Department of State as they were formulating and adjusting US policy regarding product shipments to Venezuela,” it said. “Reliance not only has complied with US sanctions laws, but also has done its best to adjust its dealings with Venezuela on a voluntary basis to reflect the ongoing changes in US policy.”
