In this week’s episode, Joseph Majkut, Director of the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program, and Kevin Book, Senior Adviser, examine the new U.S.-Venezuela oil agreement and what it signals about the growing role of energy in geopolitical competition. They discuss new data on what the deal could mean for Venezuela’s oil sector, global markets, and the broader implications for U.S. energy strategy.
This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
