The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Typical Trump "arty deal"

Experts, lawyers puzzled over US-Venezuela oil deal, call for contract transparency

The agreement did not pass through a competitive process, and its negotiation remained a secret until last week, even amid a sweeping reform of Venezuela's primary hydrocarbons ​law and the migration of dozens of joint ventures and contracts to new terms, which authorities and operators have not completed.

"Taxes to be collected, announced by the interim government, are incredibly low," Francisco Monaldi from Rice University's Baker Institute said in a social media post on Saturday. He criticized what he called a lack of transparency surrounding Venezuelan oil policy, which has been under U.S. oversight since it captured President Nicolas Maduro in January.

Trump's ultimatum to Rodriguez was probably "agree to it, or we will find someone who will". It's the "JC" way to deal with people.
