In the chaotic aftermath of the latest coup attempt against Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela's US-backed opposition leader Juan Guaido, the head of the Venezuelan assembly has proclaimed himself ‘acting president’ with the explicit backing of the US in what's looking more and more like a successful, US-backed coup.
During a speech in Caracas, he promised to run the country until free elections can be held.

And in an unprecedented move, the Trump administration announced that it would recognize Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela, Bloomberg reported. Canada joined the US in recognizing Guaido, though Mexico reaffirmed that it recognizes Maduro as the country's legitimate leader.
It's unclear where Maduro is, or what exactly is going on.
Does this mean:

ii) Venezuela oil production is about to soar
