Maduro Arrested: Will U.S. Sanctions End and Save Venezuela's Oil?

The arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro creates a major economic unknown. Analysts now question if the United States will remove its strict sanctions on the country. Those sanctions have crippled Venezuela's oil industry. Ending them could allow a surge in production and revenue. However, experts warn that recovery is not automatic. Years of underinvestment and decay plague the oil sector. A new government would need significant time and foreign investment to rebuild it. The path from Maduro's arrest to economic stability remains long and uncertain.
