Yeah, the whole thing smells like geopolitics dressed up as market reform. If the US really gets preferential access plus effective control, that’s not exactly a free-market victory lap. And with Venezuela’s history, the legal structure is probably going to be a mess before anyone even gets to the production targets.

Sure, Venezuela Needs Investment And Production Is A Joke Compared With What It Used To Be, But Handing Washington Effective Control Over A Chunk Of Reserves While Calling It Prosperity Is A Pretty Wild Sell. Also, The Legal/political Side Is Going To Be Messy As Hell Once The Details Come Out.
