Trump’s Venezuelan oil deal will rely on a close-ties private partner

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

The New York Times Business reports that the administration’s planned Venezuelan oil arrangement will be carried out with a private Venezuelan oil company that has close ties to the country’s government.

The outlet characterizes the partner as politically powerful and divisive, framing the deal’s reliance on that relationship as a key factor in how it will be implemented.
