Business Leaders Drive New Approach
GOP donor Harry Sargeant III leads support for the Trump Venezuela plan. His company showed early success in the Venezuela oil trade. Global Oil Terminals brought the first Venezuelan asphalt shipment to Florida since the 2019 sanctions.
“It has been a blow to our strategic competitors because under sanctions these barrels were turned into heavily discounted fuel oil that simply subsidized the Chinese economy,” stated Harry Sargeant IV, Global Oil Terminals president.
Strategic Implications for U.S. Energy Policy
The U.S. energy policy changes could bring several benefits. “In his first government, things didn’t go well for us with President-elect Donald Trump,” Maduro said in a televised address. “This is a new start, so let’s bet on a win-win.”

Migration Impact and Political Challenges
The numbers tell a clear story: eight million Venezuelans have left their country. Of these, 700,000 now live in the United States. “The challenge is how do you disentangle yourself and the U.S. from a policy approach that utterly failed to generate political change in the country, impoverished more people and accelerated the migration of millions of Venezuelans,” said Thomas Shannon, a former high-ranking U.S. diplomat.
Opposition leader David Smolansky warns: “In the case of Venezuela, it’s a brutal dictatorship. It doesn’t matter if you produce more oil. People are going to flee because of Maduro.”

Policy Resistance Within Trump’s Team
The Trump Venezuela plan faces pushback from Trump’s own team. “It’s not going to be easy on him, that’s for sure,” said Ana Rosa Quintana, a former Republican congressional adviser. “I would not be concerned about the Trump administration falling into that kind of trap.”
The U.S. now has sanctions on 180 Venezuelan officials. They recently added 21 more for election fraud. The new administration must review over 150 requests for licenses, which could change Venezuela oil trade for years to come.
