West: Venezuela grants U.S.-backed oil firm concessions in a deal to bring in foreign investment. ·
Elsewhere: Trump's 'historic agreement' with Venezuela overturns a century of energy sovereignty and is a 'resource grab'.

Venezuela's interim government has granted North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) a 100-year concession for major oil fields. The deal, which President Trump called 'historic', gives the US government a board veto and right of first refusal, a move some critics label a 'resource grab' that cedes Venezuelan sovereignty.
