affected by Harvey, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.</p><p>At gas stations in Texas and Louisiana owned by Citgo Holding Inc. — a subsidiary of the country’s state oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela — rescue forces have been able to fill up for free.</p><p>Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza stated on Twitter that the contribution was an act of solidarity with area families.</p><p>The minister’s statement came just a day after Citgo administrators announced a US$3 million donation to the to Houston&#8217;s Harvey Relief Fund.</p><p>“We express our solidarity with the Americans affected by the hurricane,” Arreaza, accompanied by Nelson Martinez, the head of PDVSA, said during a televised briefing. “When an American fills his tank at a Citgo gas station, he’ll be contributing to the rebuilding of the affected communities.&#8221;</p><p>Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner expressed his appreciation for the generous donation, stating, “We are overwhelmed by the support from our corporate partners including Citgo Petroleum Corporation. Their social responsibility is amazing and their generous contribution will go a long way to help Houstonians get back on their feet, after this historic natural disaster.”</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/jaarreaza">@jaarreaza</a>: In areas impacted by Harvey, firemen, rescuers, and policemen get free fuel from Citgo &#8211; a solidary contribution of Venezuela <a href="https://t.co/fjhAriD0I8">pic.twitter.com/fjhAriD0I8</a></p><p>— Cancillería 🇻🇪 (@vencancilleria) <a href="https://twitter.com/vencancilleria/status/904104946819362816">September 2, 2017</a></p></blockquote><p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p>In a news release published on its site, Citgo stated that a percentage of all fuel sales would go directly towards rebuilding the community, beginning in the most marginalized areas and those which saw the most destruction.</p><p>&#8220;As a company with operations throughout the Gulf Coast, we have seen first-hand the devastation caused by this historic storm.
