WSJ What’s News · How Giving Over Its Oil to the U.S. Could Revive Venezuela’s Economy · 9 Jan 2026
podcast
All of this really hinges on a very, very fragile political detente between the U.S.
and Venezuela.
If the U.S.
takes oil and does not pay Venezuela, we're talking a huge devastating effect on the local economy, which has already been decimated.
There's already many economists who have warned of famine,
food shortages, medicine shortages, things that have actually happened in recent years in Venezuela during its very turbulent economic downward spiral.
And so ensuring that this money gets to them is going to be very vital for the stability of the Venezuelan economy.
They have huge human capital shortages, worker shortages.
There's a shaky power grid, leaves much of the country in blackouts very routinely.
These things are going to have to be fixed, not just for the well-being of average folks, but also to get the oil industry up and running again, which the U.S.
is really counting on for this entire plan to work.
And there's a direct link between the economic well-being of the country and its political situation.
Many investors simply do not perceive any semblance of rule of law.
And so for them to put money into the country, they need institutions, they need guarantees that the government is going to uphold its end of the bargain.
We see many people from the opposition
in Venezuela, really emphasizing that point that all these plans from the Trump administration sound nice and getting the economy back on its feet is very vital, but that there also must be some sense of urgency in restoring democratic norms and order in the country.
Thank you.
