How much control will the US have over Venezuela's oil? | Inside Story

Описание: It all started with a direct US attack on Venezuela earlier this month. President Donald Trump made it clear that he was only interested in the country's substantial oil reserves. On Thursday, the government in Caracas announced a massive overhaul of the petroleum sector. The interim president has signed a law easing state control and opening the door for private firms to invest in the country. For many, it paves the way for American oil giants to return to Venezuela with massive investments. But who will stand to gain from the changes: Venezuela or the United States? Or both?
