US oil deal with Venezuela: Experts cast doubt on Trump's promise

The article discusses the U.S.-Venezuela oil deal under President Trump, highlighting skepticism among experts regarding its feasibility and benefits. While the administration portrays the agreement as a geopolitical shift that would stabilize energy prices and secure reliable oil supplies, market analysts like David Roche argue that rebuilding Venezuela’s outdated infrastructure and developing new fields will take years. The deal grants North American Blue Energy Partners rights to 17 Venezuelan oil fields, making it the second-largest oil reserves holder after Saudi Aramco. However, Democratic Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander criticizes the deal, arguing it does not address high gasoline prices effectively. Experts also warn of significant legal and political risks in investing in Venezuela due to corruption issues.
