Donald Trump Oil Policy Risks Strengthening China in Latin America

#ParroquiaSantaRosalia, #Venezuela
Experts warn that Donald Trump's aggressive push for Venezuelan oil to counter China may inadvertently allow Beijing to dominate the regional energy sector.While the USA emphasizes hard power and military presence, China has strengthened ties across Latin America since 2013 through massive infrastructure investments and aid programs.This strategic shift occurs as the USA dismantles international programs, potentially leaving a vacuum for Chinese soft power to fill.
