According to reports, officials appointed by the Trump administration, campaign donors, and recently departed government officials are all trying to profit from America's control of Venezuela's troubled energy sector. According to reports, companies closely linked to the Trump administration are actively promoting the deal, hoping to get opportunities to develop Venezuelan oil resources. Two people familiar with the matter revealed that Houston-based oil producer Sable Offshore is in in-depth negotiations with the Venezuelan government and is expected to sign an oil field development contract. A few companies have now entered a similar high-level negotiation phase. Brittany Kelm, Sable's vice president for policy and commercial affairs, remained in the Trump administration until last month. Energy company Primavera also signed an oil field development agreement on Wednesday; Fred Ehrsam, one of the company's founders, donated $1 million to Trump's 2025 inauguration fund.
