Amer Shobaki: Trump's Venezuela Oil Deal reshapes energy supply
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a groundbreaking oil deal with Venezuela, regarded as the largest in world history. The deal involves control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil reserves, including the development of 17 oil fields and investments exceeding $100 billion. The goal is to strengthen U.S. oil supplies, especially heavy crude oil, reduce reliance on sources in geopolitically tense regions like the Gulf, and rebuild Venezuela's oil industry to boost its production. This deal is seen as a broader strategy to reshape the global energy market, challenge OPEC's dominance, and enhance U.S. capabilities in countering Chinese influence in the oil sector, while reducing dependence on vital shipping routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz.
