The agreement, announced on social media and confirmed by the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, is the product of an opaque negotiation conducted behind the Venezuelan public’s back, which still does not know its terms and conditions. What is not surprising is that Venezuela’s natural wealth is ending up in U.S. hands. Trump made it clear from the day he ordered an attack on Caracas and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, now imprisoned in New York, that his real objective was Venezuelan oil.
