2 Dec - 4 Dec 2026
Session information
Description
Venezuela's former leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, face charges of 'narco-terrorism' in New York City. Meanwhile, Trump has called the deal, granting the US control of strategic Venezuelan oil fields, 'the biggest in history'. In this panel we will explore overreach in the context of failed contracts, significant disputes, power tussles, kidnappings and more. How will assets move in these circumstances?
