The US has been increasing Gulf production greatly in recent years. There is no reason to believe Mexico’s end of the Gulf is any less rich, but they aren’t investing in current fields or doing enough exploration for new ones. And they won’t let international oil companies partner with them to do that work.
We build the pipeline and “F”ing Soros looses billions! That’s the real problem and what Soros says is what Obama does!
Some of the bigger LatAm oil producers have been taken over by leftists in recent years, and they’d all be happy to see their citizens starve to death rather than sell their oil (or gas) to the eeevil US.
Latin America’s big problem is the left. Bush blew it when he didn’t let the generals fly Chavez off to exile in Cuba and the leftist corruptocracy has been growing by leaps and bounds ever since then.
