U.S. and Venezuelan officials have promised a new era of accountability for Venezuela’s lucrative oil industry after the downfall of President Maduro. President Trump said the US would control Venezuelan oil sales. Venezuela would submit monthly budgets to the White House, the Trump administration said, and the US said it hired auditors to check receipts. Venezuela’s new leader Delcy Rodríguez said the public could trace every oil dollar on a new website. None of these initiatives, however, have thus far shed light on where Venezuela’s oil money has been going, prompting questions about the political will in Washington and Caracas. Yet even with the best intentions, Washington’s plan to show how and where Venezuela’s oil riches are being spent would be a gargantuan task. Decades of plundering have left Venezuela with an opaque and deeply corrupt oil industry, which Ms. Rodríguez had largely failed to solve during her previous role running the national economy.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva is scheduled to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday (May 7), aimed at strengthening trade, technology, and mineral relations, according to Brazilian government sources. While reports indicate the meeting will take place at the White House, the White House has not yet officially confirmed the visit. Key Details on the 2026 Meeting: a) This is planned as a crucial step to normalize trade relations following a 50% tariff hike on Brazilian products by the Trump administration. b) Trade, technology, and mineral resources are central to the agenda. The leaders previously met on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in October 2025 and have spoken via phone, aiming to build "good chemistry" despite prior diplomatic tensions.

The State of Espírito Santo is preparing a R$ 2.18 billion (US$ 444 million) megaproject with offshore works, a deepwater port, and a structure for oil transshipment in a complex that could become a key piece of Brazilian logistics in the Atlantic. The project brings together maritime works, billion-dollar financing, and industrial plans linked to oil logistics in the Atlantic, with stages planned until 2028. In Presidente Kennedy, Porto Central is preparing the first phase of a private complex that includes dredging, breakwater construction, a turning basin for vessel maneuvering, and a Liquid Bulk Terminal for ship-to-ship oil transfer. The plan is to transform the coastal area into a suitable point for receiving large vessels, with an access channel, an area sheltered from waves, and structures associated with industrial operation.

In Brazil’s public transit landscape, while zero-emission buses were once a curiosity for market analysts, the sector has entered a phase of genuine industrial scaling. As of early 2026, the national fleet has expanded to approximately 1,500 battery-electric buses across nearly 30 municipalities. This shift represents more than just a technological upgrade; it is a significant carbon mitigation strategy that has already sidelined over two million tons of lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. The momentum is not accidental. It is the result of a deliberate convergence between municipal ambition and international finance. São Paulo remains the primary theater for this transition, commanding the vast majority of the country’s electric fleet. The capital has effectively leveraged a mix of domestic and multilateral support, tapping into the National Development Bank along with the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.
