Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

Everything Trump and his cabinet have said about the deal is false. Venezuelan law governing oil does not allow for 100-yr deals, or anything longer than 25 years. And US law doesn't allow us to own shares in companies. Plus, the deal as structured won’t bring new capital to Venezuela’s oil sector.
Experts are ultimately skeptical the oil deal can hold together. “The deal is like the big beautiful wall that Mexico will pay for,” said former US diplomat John Feeley.

‘Skin in the game’
It was less than a month after the January US raid that toppled Maduro that Exxon’s CEO, Darren Woods, said the country was “uninvestable” because of the “legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today”.

Two people familiar with the process said Trump began looking for a way to make sure the US had “skin in the game” – financial ownership that would put investors at ease. The potential answer became the US stake in Betancourt’s firm, North American Blue Energy Partners.

Though the White House and defense department say it has 35% ownership, the Pentagon told lawmakers on the congressional armed services committee in a written briefing seen by the Guardian it has “warrants” in Nabep: rights to purchase shares, rather than the shares themselves.

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."
