Venezuela opposition takes steps to seize oil revenue as Maduro issues threat

Maduro lashed out at the congress leader, Juan Guaido, saying in an interview that he would face the courts "sooner or later" for violating the constitution, after Guaido invoked constitutional provisions last month to assume an interim presidency. Controlling PDVSA's U.S. refiner Citgo Petroleum, Venezuela's most valuable foreign asset, would go some way to helping in that, though seizing the reins of PDVSA itself seems improbable while Maduro remains in power. "We have taken a step forward with the reconstruction of PDVSA," Guaido said on Twitter, just after congress named the directors.
