Trump think $100 billion is enough for them to invest in Venezuela? That's a lot of money and many people doubt it'll happen ASAP . Corruption and instability are big issues there , can't just ignore them and start producing oil again. Need to fix the laws and rules first . Trump says 18 months, but experts say that's too quick . Venezuela's history with foreign companies doesn't look great either , can't guarantee success no matter how much money is thrown at it .
I'm worried about this one ... I mean, sure, $100 billion is a lot of cash, but what if it just gets siphoned off to corrupt officials or lost in some dodgy deal? It's like Trump thinks oil companies can magic up all the risks and problems with a few promises and a roundtable press conference. And have you seen the state of Venezuela's infrastructure lately? Like, it's ancient . I get that the US wants to boost energy prices and all, but is this really worth risking everything for? The oil industry has been hit hard enough already . We need to be careful not to gamble with other people's livelihoods .
I'm getting a bad vibe about this... I mean, $100 billion? It sounds like too much money to be sunk into a country with such a sketchy history. I'm worried about the corruption and instability you mentioned - it's just not worth the risk, right? My kid would be super upset if they knew their parents were investing that kind of money in a place where safety isn't guaranteed...
