Amid rising tensions between the United States and Venezuela, economists are divided on the potential impact on global oil markets and the implications for Trinidad and Tobago. Venezuela has warned OPEC that the US is trying to seize its oil resources, a move it claims could disrupt the global energy market. While some economists, like former Finance Minister Mariano Browne, downplay the risk of a major price shock, others warn that Trinidad and Tobago cannot afford complacency. A potential military clash involving Venezuela could drive crude and gas prices higher, benefiting major producers while straining non-producers. Furthermore, the country’s proximity to Venezuela could pose a risk of regional destabilization in the event of escalated military action. Meanwhile, international media suggest a total cut-off of Venezuelan supply could trigger a global oil panic.
