Trump backs Venezuela staying in OPEC, says question beyond that is premature
TheWkly Analysis
President Donald Trump said Venezuela would benefit from remaining in OPEC, backing the idea that the country should continue coordinating with the oil producers group. Trump said broader questions about Venezuela’s oil policy and U.S. interests are premature, even as his administration pushes for greater influence over the country’s energy sector. Venezuela’s future in OPEC could affect production levels and global oil prices, especially if U.S.-aligned reforms seek to expand output beyond OPEC quotas.
