Rubio defends Venezuela oil deal against China, Russia influence

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Senator Marco Rubio has defended a US-backed oil agreement in Venezuela, framing it as a strategic move to counter Chinese and Russian influence. He stated that the deal, which grants a US energy company 100-year concessions on 17 oilfields, prevents these reserves from falling under the control of China or Russia. Rubio argued that the agreement is crucial for reviving production and ensuring US access to oil reserves during potential crises, despite challenges from Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.
