Washington\u2019s expanded restrictions on PDVSA and the ongoing legal process surrounding the \u201cCitgo\u201d assets have brought the issue to the forefront of international attention.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to ARB24 Television, political analyst Ahmad Shahidov stated that the new U.S. tariffs and pressure mechanisms are reshaping the regional balance: \u201cThis is no longer just a matter between Caracas and Washington. The scope of sanctions is expanding, creating risks for other countries engaged in economic cooperation with Venezuela. The \u2018Citgo\u2019 case delivers a serious blow to Caracas\u2019s economic position and further fuels domestic political tensions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmad Shahidov also highlighted that mass migration from Venezuela continues to deepen the crisis: \u201cMore than 7.9 million people have already left the country. The socio-economic collapse and the rise in deportation flights increase the likelihood of a new migration wave. If the situation spirals out of control, the Caribbean could turn into a new zone of geopolitical confrontation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18866\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18867\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025a.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18868\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025b.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18869\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arb24_03.12.2025c.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising sanctions, instability in global energy markets and increased military activity in the Caribbean have pushed U.S.\u2013Venezuela relations into a new and tense phase.
