US Strike Ousts Maduro: Venezuela's Oil Future Uncertain After Arrest

• Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro arrested and removed after a US military strike on Caracas.
• Venezuela holds the world's largest oil reserves (303 billion barrels), but production is low due to sanctions and lack of investment.
• Maduro's removal creates a power vacuum; US recognizes exiled leader Edmundo Gonzalez as legitimate president.
• The next 24-48 hours are crucial to determine military support and the country's stability.
• Experts believe a major oil price surge is unlikely despite the crisis, due to a balanced global oil market.

Why It Matters: Maduro's arrest after a US strike leaves Venezuela's vast oil reserves and political future uncertain, but a major oil price surge is unlikely.
