In a recent development, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro"s regime has reportedly offered a deal to the Trump Administration through negotiations led by Richard Grenell. The proposed agreement includes several significant concessions from Venezuela in exchange for political support from the United States.
The terms of the deal specify that the U.S. would gain access to various Venezuelan natural resources, including natural gas, gold, iron, bauxite, and coltan deposits. Additionally, Venezuela would sever its financial and commercial ties with China and reverse all oil exports from China to the United States. The agreement also stipulates that Venezuela would terminate all contracts with Russian, Chinese, and Iranian firms related to the energy and mining sectors.
In return for these concessions, the United States would cease all support for the Venezuelan opposition, allow Maduro to govern without interference, and halt military and diplomatic pressure against the Chavista regime.
This negotiation comes amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, with previous reports indicating that Maduro has made extensive offers to avoid conflict with the United States. For more on this topic, see earlier coverage.
