The United States are negotiating with Venezuela's interim government to acquire a significant stake in several of the country's oil fields. The information was reported by the Axios and Bloomberg media outlets.
The negotiations focus on the possibility of American companies or interests obtaining a significant share of Venezuelan oil fields, at a time when the country's energy sector continues to be one of its main sources of revenue.
The contacts between Washington and the Venezuelan executive come in a context of complex relations between both countries, which have oscillated between periods of diplomatic tension and attempts at rapprochement.
The specific details about the terms of the negotiation, the value involved, or the oil fields in question have not been disclosed by the media outlets that reported the information.
