Venezuela has requested support from OPEC+ following allegations that the United States is engaging in "direct aggression" aimed at destabilizing its oil sector. Caracas claims these actions threaten its oil production capabilities and national sovereignty.
The Venezuelan government accuses Washington of attempting to exert control over the country's oil resources through disruptive measures. This stance highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations, particularly regarding energy politics.
"The United States is attempting to take over our oil resources through destabilizing tactics," stated a Venezuelan official in a letter to OPEC+.
Venezuela’s appeal to OPEC+ emphasizes the need for unity among oil-producing countries to counter external pressures. The letter seeks collective defense strategies to protect the member states' interests and uphold market stability.
Venezuela urges OPEC+ to back its claims against US interference, spotlighting deep geopolitical struggles over oil control.
