Impacto Geopolítico
Maduro's imprisonment and Venezuela's new leadership's oil deal granting U.S. control of 60+ billion barrels represents a major geopolitical realignment in Latin America, shifting regional power dynamics toward U.S. energy dominance.

Similar to 1953 Iran coup aftermath where Western powers gained oil concessions following regime change, or post-2003 Iraq where U.S. gained energy sector influence. Reflects Cold War-era resource extraction patterns in Global South.
