El Pentágono adquiere 35 % de participación en proyecto petrolero venezolano

La administración de Trump anunció que el Departamento de Defensa de EE.  UU. obtuvo una participación del 35 % en North American Blue Energy Partners, la empresa que posee concesiones sobre 17 campos petroleros venezolanos. Según AP News, la presidenta interina Delcy Rodríguez aprobó una empresa conjunta de 100 años que otorga a una firma estadounidense el control de los mismos campos, aproximadamente una quinta parte de las reservas probadas de Venezuela. The Bulwark informó que el Departamento de Defensa estaba negociando un acuerdo temporal para adquirir una participación en una compañía petrolera venezolana. La administración afirmó que la asociación podría ayudar a reponer la Reserva Estratégica de Petróleo, mientras que analistas dijeron que el proyecto podría tardar años en influir en los precios de la gasolina en EE.  UU. El Casa Blanca había detallado previamente una asociación que daba al Pentágono una participación del 35 %, y el presidente Trump declaró que EE.

 UU. había asegurado el control mayoritario de más de 65 mil millones de barriles de petróleo venezolano. The Guardian señaló que funcionarios estadounidenses estaban en negociaciones avanzadas con el gobierno interino de Venezuela, lo que provocó protestas de la oposición. AP informó que EE.  UU. y un operador privado crearon una nueva empresa que concedía a EE.  UU. una participación efectiva del 55 % en la producción, y Fox Business informó de un acuerdo bilateral de 25 años que apunta a producir 1,5 millones de barriles diarios.
