They discuss the complex landscape of doing business in Venezuela, focusing on the rampant corruption, security challenges, and the implications of U.S. sanctions. They explore the risks associated with engaging with the national oil company, PdVSA, and the broader implications for U.S. companies considering re-entry into the Venezuelan market.
