Trump Administration Seeks Expanded Access to Venezuela's Mineral Resources
The Trump administration is seeking increased U.S. access to Venezuela's mineral resources, including gold, to support national security interests. This initiative aims to expand U.S. involvement beyond oil, potentially opening Venezuela's mining sector to American investment. Officials have consulted companies about opportunities, and a possible executive order on critical minerals is being drafted. This strategy aligns with broader U.S. goals in Latin America following recent political developments in Venezuela.
