Energy and OPEC

Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro sent a letter to OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al Ghais, published Sunday by Foreign Minister Yvan Gil, urging the cartel to help stop what he called U.S. 'direct aggression' undermining Venezuela’s energy sector and global oil stability. Energy analyst Francisco J. Monaldi told Fox News Digital OPEC—particularly Saudi Arabia—is unlikely to intervene, framing the appeal as largely symbolic amid Washington’s escalating pressure campaign.
