In this episode, our host, Alex Wolfe and Atlantic Council's Landon Derentz discuss the evolving energy landscape, particularly focusing on the implications of the USA foreign policy towards Venezuela. Landon goes into great detail about the very different positions of Chevron, Repsol and Exxon. There was a unique meeting on January 6th in the White House between Trump and USA's biggest energy leaders.

The Wolfe Power Club's in-depth analysis with Landon, the previous Director of Energy at the White House shows that when the Venezuelan sanctions are lifted, there could be an upside of 250,000 barrels per day.
