US-Backed Fund Heeney Capital Drives Venezuela Mineral Deals

Heeney Capital, a small asset manager, is brokering exports of Venezuelan aluminum to the US and negotiating billion-dollar mining investments, aligning with Washington's strategy to reactivate Venezuela's mineral sector. The move signals a shift in US policy toward engaging with Venezuela's resources, though details on government involvement and deal terms remain unclear. This could reshape regional energy and trade dynamics.
