Venezuelans are seriously divided on the oil agreement reached between the Trump administration and the country's interim administration. Half of the respondents believe that this agreement will benefit the US more than Venezuela. The poll showed that about 38% of respondents opposed the agreement, about 35% supported it, and another 27% expressed uncertainty. The findings highlight the political challenges faced by Venezuela's acting president, Delsi Rodriguez. Since US President Trump announced that the US will control more than 65 billion barrels of crude oil reserves in Venezuela, Rodriguez has faced both opposition from the ruling party's hardliners and criticism from the opposition. Many Venezuelans questioned whether the agreement was fair and whether Rodriguez had the right to conduct related negotiations. At the same time, she is trying to deal with the resulting political backlash and maintain her position in power. About 60% of respondents expect the oil agreement to have a “very positive”, “relatively positive” or “neutral” impact on their daily lives. However, 50% think the US will benefit more from the agreement, 28% think both countries will benefit equally, and only 10% think Venezuela will benefit more.
