According to sources, the U.S. Treasury Department froze assets of Sargents offshore company involved in Venezuelan oil production projects on Friday. Simultaneously, the Treasury Department has issued a license allowing him to liquidate his stake in the company. Sargent served as a key secret communication channel between Washington and Caracas during years of heightened tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, accumulating significant influence on both sides. He frequently visited Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort and the Venezuelan presidential palace, regularly meeting with former President Maduro and other high-ranking officials detained by the U.S. military. He used this special channel to relay information between the U.S. and Venezuela and helped facilitate the release of detained U.S. citizens in 2025. Simultaneously, he also developed deals in Venezuela, a country most oil companies avoid due to political risks and sanctions.
