Donald Trump, gave a new sample of political unpredictability. He had given signs of an extreme pragmatism with the Venezuela of Nicolás Maduro, to the point of disconcioning the opposition to the man since 2013 by the Miraflores Palace. When that bilateral relationship style seemed to be normalized, supported by Caracas’s disposition to receive Venezuelans who began to be deported from the United States, the Republican tycoon took announced that It will revoke the licenses granted by the Democratic Administration that allowed US oil companies to operate in the South American country as of March 1.
The turn seems to return to Trump to the road map of his first government when he supported the self -proclamation of Juan Guaidó as “responsible president.” Through a message posted on social networks, the billionaire made known of its hardening signals. At the same time, he adjusted accounts with his internal opposition. “We are reversing the concessions that the corrupt Joe Biden gave to Nicolás Maduro, of Venezuela, on the oil transaction agreement, dated November 26, 2022, and that also have to do with the electoral conditions within Venezuela, which have not been fulfilled by the Maduro regime. “
Trump does not differ from biden in this last issue: there is a continuity between both administrations in regards to maturism for its management of the elections last July that were widely questioned. The National Electoral Council (CNE) He proclaimed the victory of the official candidate without presenting the minutes and the opposition, at the same time, claimed the victory at the polls of Edmundo González Urrutia. Biden acknowledged the former elected president before leaving power.
The migratory issue is also a reason for the revocation of the license that benefited Chevron. “The regime has not been transporting violent criminals thatThey sent our country back to Venezuela to the rapid rhythm they had agreed. Therefore, I order that the ineffective and breached ‘Biden concession agreement’ is terminated. “The opposition has, from this measure, a new perspective of what the United States is proposed.
Economic impact
In November 2022, Biden had granted Chevron a license to resume oil production in Venezuela after the sanctions of the White House under Trump’s first mandate that put a brake on all drilling activities in 2019 and caused strong damage to the economy. Although new perforations were not authorized at the time, the company may repair and maintain the oil fields. Biden’s authorization aimed to create better conditions for the celebration of elections in Venezuelawith guarantees for Maduro adversaries who were half met.
A new scenario opens, therefore, from this turn. “In his first government, President Donald Trump, it was not good for us. This is a new beginning to bet to win. And he does well to the United States, he goes well for Venezuela, “Maduro said on January 20 when the new era of the billionaire began.
Eleven days later, he landed in Caracas Richard Grenelll, sent from Trump for special missions, and met with the Venezuelan president. The government released six Americans detained and promised to collaborate with the new White House immigration policy. “I think this is a new standard. It’s quite incredible, “said Grenell.” Maduro told me ‘we are going to give you this and these are the things we want’ and I said: ‘No, we are giving you a great gift. And the great gift is that I am sitting with you here and you have all kinds of cameras around and you will use all this for propaganda purposes because an American diplomat is sitting here with you ‘”. The” gift “was the talk and” the hope of a different future. “Something happened on the road and the United States policy gives signs of guiding themselves in the direction that the Secretary of State tries to print.
