📌 What’s happening

🛢️ Potential fallout
• Large outstanding debts to countries like China — often settled through oil deliveries under “loans-for-oil” arrangements — may be challenged or left unpaid. (Binance)
• China is reportedly pushing for Venezuela to honor its debts and to have a seat at the table during any debt restructuring. (Breitbart)

🌍 Global implications
This isn’t just political posturing. A formal rejection of Maduro-era obligations could lead to:
• Debt defaults or restructuring battles
• Strained relations with major creditors
• Pressure on oil export agreements
• Broader market shock in sovereign credit and commodity pricing
