By Marianna Parraga, Matt Spetalnick and Timothy Gardner HOUSTON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is preparing to grant new authorizations to key partners of Venezuela's state-run PDVSA, starting with Chevron,

The decision follows negotiations that led to the release of 10 American prisoners in the county.

The move reverses Trump's withdrawal of a permit earlier this year, and could draw criticism from Venezuelans in Florida who fled the Maduro regime.
