委内瑞拉代理总统德尔西·罗德里格斯近期同意与美国达成协议，授予美国对委内瑞拉约20%石油储量的控制权1。该协议涉及17个油田、储量650亿桶，期限为100年1。美国将与委内瑞拉第二大私营石油公司北美蓝能源伙伴成立合资企业，获得这些油田的开采权1。
虽然该协议可能为委内瑞拉石油工业和经济带来数十亿美元收入，但引发了国内广泛质疑1。许多委内瑞拉人将其视为国家主权的投降，认为这实现了美国控制委内瑞拉石油资源的目标1。美国能源部长克里斯·赖特表示特朗普政府在委内瑞拉的使命是"为人民带来和平、自由、机会和繁荣"1。委内瑞拉目前日均石油产量约100万桶，总储量约3000亿桶1。该国2月份进行了法律改革，为私人投资石油工业铺平了道路1。
Venezuelan Acting President Delcy Rodríguez agreed last week to grant the United States control over approximately one-fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves—roughly 65 billion barrels out of the country's total 300 billion barrels—for a period of 100 years.1 The agreement involves 17 oil fields and was structured through a joint venture between the US and Northam Blue Energy Partners, Venezuela's second-largest private oil company, which will hold extraction rights over the century-long term.1
While the arrangement could potentially generate billions of dollars in revenue for Venezuela's struggling oil industry and economy, the deal has sparked widespread national resentment and concern about sovereignty.1 Many Venezuelans view the accord as a capitulation to American control over the country's strategic resources, raising questions about US strategic intentions and traditional Venezuelan oil nationalism.1 The timing follows a February legal reform in Venezuela that opened the door to private investment in the country's oil sector.1
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright characterized the Trump administration's mission in Venezuela as bringing "peace, freedom, opportunity, and prosperity to its people."1 Venezuela currently produces approximately 1 million barrels of oil per day.1
