U.S. Senator Marco Rubio predicts a major return of Western oil companies to Venezuela if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.
In a recent statement, Rubio said a new Trump administration is "pretty certain" this would happen. He did not confirm if U.S. troops would be used to secure Venezuela's oil fields.
Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves. Its industry collapsed under years of U.S. sanctions and economic crisis.
The comment highlights potential foreign policy shifts. It suggests a focus on restoring Venezuelan oil production for global markets.
