The Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro is a debt company based in Madrid, mainly for investments and joint oil projects. The repayment of the debt is carried out using crude oil barrels.

“The United States is already the largest supplier of LNG in Europe (55 percent) and the largest oil supplier (17 %), and Repsol wants to be a bridge between the deposits on the other side of the Atlantic and European demand,” noted “El Mundo”.

In the first half of this year 31.3 percent Natural gas imported by Spain came from the USA.
