Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA confirmed this week it is negotiating with the United States to sell crude oil, marking a dramatic shift amid ongoing geopolitical friction. The announcement comes just days after a controversial U.S. military operation in Caracas sparked global outcry.
🔍 PDVSA stated via Telegram that discussions involve "the sale of oil volumes" using frameworks similar to existing deals with international firms like Chevron. This development follows a January 3 operation where U.S. forces detained Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who now faces legal proceedings in New York.
💥 The potential oil deal raises eyebrows given recent events. Critics argue the military intervention—widely condemned by UN members—appears strategically timed to secure access to Venezuela's oil reserves, the largest proven in the world.
📈 Energy analysts suggest this could reshape global oil markets in 2026, though many question the deal's stability. "This isn't just about barrels—it's about rewriting geopolitical playbooks," said energy strategist Maria Lopez.
