<p> </p>

<p>The Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy invites you to join us for:  </p>

<p> </p>

<p>⚡Petroleum &amp; Power:
<br />Inside the Cuba-Venezuela Relationship over Oil
<br />Wed. March 18th
<br />10 am to 11:30 am
<br />SIPA II – Room #102</p>

<p> </p>

<p>📍REGISTER HERE📍</p>

<p> </p>

<p>For more than two decades, the relationship between Cuba and Venezuela has shaped regional energy dynamics, with Venezuela historically supplying large volumes of subsidized oil to Cuba in exchange for services and political support.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This timely discussion will explore the strategic, economic, and security implications of that relationship, including:</p>

<p> </p>

<p>🔎 Cuba’s influence over Venezuela’s economic decision-making and what it could mean for U.S. oil companies and future investors</p>

<p>🛡️ The continued role of Cuban intelligence and counterintelligence operations in Venezuela, and potential risks for U.S. missions and personnel</p>

<p>⚖️ The Cuba–Venezuela interim government relationship, and how it may affect stabilization efforts, economic recovery, and prospects for democratic transition</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This is a must-attend conversation for anyone interested in energy security, Latin American geopolitics, and U.S. foreign policy.</p>
