Why it matters
The review and potential revocation of contracts tied to the previous regime by the new leadership in Venezuela impacts business operations and revenue streams in the country's state-owned sectors. Mildon's relationship with Alina Habba, who remains close to Donald Trump, has become a factor in these political calculations.
