US oil deals in focus ahead of elections

In this episode we discuss the potential impact of the US presidential election on the oil and gas sector. A second Donald Trump administration is generally expected to be friendlier to the sector, with most eyes set on who could be named chair of the Federal Trade Commission, which has recently increased its scrutiny of oil and gas deals. However, a Kamala Harris administration, and its possible restrictions of drilling in federal land, could ironically lead to more oil and gas M&A. Joining Julie-Anna Needham is Serafina Smith, who is a Mergermarket reporter in New York, and Carlos Martinez, who is Canada editor for Mergermarket.
