WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Venezuela's opposition has no plans to use funds belonging to U.S. refiner Citgo, which is owned by state oil company PDVSA, despite having named a new board for the company this week, the self-declared interim government's U.S. envoy said on Friday.

The opposition will not make changes to the refining company's management or operations until Juan Guaido, the leader of Venezuela's opposition-controlled Congress who swore himself in as president last month, has control of state functions, said Carlos Vecchio, Guaido's representative in Washington.
