The article covered the details of a historic agreement between the United States and Venezuela that grants Washington extensive influence over the country's oil sector. The agreement stipulates that the U.S. will have priority rights to purchase approximately 80% of the production from North American Blue Energy Partners, a company developing and operating 17 oil fields in Venezuela, at a price equal to production costs. The deal includes veto rights over the company's management and predominantly American board members, along with a 35% stake in the parent company, giving the U.S. government direct influence and an estimated financial value in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The aim of the agreement is to export oil to replenish the U.S. strategic reserves and boost production, aspiring to exceed one million barrels per day despite significant challenges such as deteriorating oil infrastructure in Venezuela and lack of investment. This agreement is considered part of the Trump administration's policy to expand U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere, but it may face internal and external political challenges, especially from opposition forces within Venezuela and concerns over its impact on the country’s political process.
