Trump's push to access Venezuela's oil faces major barriers

Season 2026 Episode 6 | 7m 44s

President Trump says the U.S. government could subsidize any effort by American companies to rebuild Venezuela’s oil infrastructure. He has made no secret that a major goal of this weekend’s operation was to pry open Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Francisco Manaldi, professor and director of the Latin American Energy Program at Rice University.
