US to take 35% stake in Venezuelan oil firm
The U.S. government announced its intention to acquire a 35% stake in North American Blue Energy Partners, a company owned by Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, as part of a plan to increase its influence in the Venezuelan oil sector. Additionally, the United States aims to secure preferential rights to purchase 20% of the company's production at cost price, through investment structures involving stock purchase guarantees without large capital investments. This comes after President Trump announced that America controls more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves, in an effort to bolster U.S. energy security. However, the Pentagon and the White House have rejected statements about direct ownership stakes in companies, emphasizing that the government’s role is limited to providing financial support and facilitation. The oil sector in Venezuela has undergone significant changes as the Trump administration seeks to revitalize the country’s energy industry, despite the challenges posed by sanctions and mismanagement of resources.
