Group 1 - The U.S. has launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela, forcibly removing President Maduro and his wife, which has drawn strong condemnation from multiple countries including Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba, and Russia [1] - President Trump announced that U.S. oil companies will invest billions of dollars in Venezuela to repair oil infrastructure and generate revenue, indicating a strategic interest in Venezuela's oil industry [1] - The U.S. has been increasing military presence in the Caribbean near Venezuela under the pretext of drug enforcement, escalating actions from seizing oil tankers to a comprehensive blockade of sanctioned vessels [1] Group 2 - Venezuela has proven oil reserves of 300 billion barrels, accounting for approximately 17% of the world's total, making it the largest in the world, while the U.S. has proven reserves of 81 billion barrels but still relies on imports, particularly from Venezuela [1] - Venezuelan heavy crude oil complements U.S. light crude oil, as the latter is primarily used for gasoline production, while heavy crude offers a wider range of derivatives, fulfilling global demand for such products [2][4] - Most U.S. refineries are designed to process Venezuelan oil, making it more efficient for them to use Venezuelan crude rather than domestic oil [4] Group 3 - The U.S. aims to exert geopolitical control and economic dominance over raw materials in Latin America, particularly in the context of Venezuela's oil resources [6] - The Maduro government advocates for energy nationalization and opposes external interference, complicating U.S. efforts to control Venezuelan oil fields and influence production and export directions [7]
