The United States began on Monday, in Houston, Texas, a series of G20 meetings on "energy abundance," with Venezuela as the guest. The South American country's presence at the event represents a new diplomatic partnership between Washington and Caracas.
The context of the meetings is marked by the war initiated by Donald Trump against Iran, which affected the global fuel market. The debates, which extend until Wednesday, feature delegations from the world's largest economies, including China, India, Japan and Germany, as well as major oil producers such as Canada and Saudi Arabia.
US Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum declared that the goal is to shift the geopolitical center of oil from the Middle East, affected by instabilities in the region, to the Western Hemisphere. Texas, an oil-rich state, serves as the backdrop for these discussions on global energy future.
