Experts: ‘A Lot of Questions Around’ Trump’s Venezuela Oil Deal, What It Means for South Florida

The agreement would give the United States 55% of output from a new private company and could bring $100 billion in investment, officials said.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a deal with Venezuela giving the United States rights to 65 billion barrels of oil from 17 fields, negotiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
  • North America Blue Energy Partners, owned by CEO Alejandro Betancourt, will develop the fields under a 100-year agreement following the U.S. capture of former leader Nicolas Maduro in January.
  • With the United States securing 55% effective output, the deal could draw $100 billion in investment and yield over $209 billion in taxes for Caracas, though experts warn Venezuela's dilapidated infrastructure will take years to repair.
  • Amy Myers Jaffe, director of the Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab at New York University, said the deal is "not going to do anything to change the price of gasoline" for Labor Day. No text has been released.
  • Amos Hochstein, a former adviser to President Joe Biden, warned the deal carries "tremendous risk" and that future administrations in Washington or Caracas could challenge it, as Venezuela has previously expelled foreign investors.
