The Department of Energy is establishing a hemispheric energy center at Florida International University. The center will coordinate projects that strengthen cooperation on policy, commercial, technical, infrastructure, and regulatory issues and enhance U.S. access to energy resources in the region. Venezuela has had a strong energy relationship with the United States for many decades. Unfortunately, Venezuela's recent political unrest has affected their ability to be a secure supplier in the recent past. We are encouraged to hear that production reportedly has recovered to about 2 to 2.5 million barrels per day, compared to a pre-strike production of about 3 million barrels per day. U.S. firms are returning to full operation in Venezuela, and Venezuelan-owned CITGO continues to operate in the U.S. as a commercial entity. The benefits that these reciprocal energy investments bring to both parties, and to the relationship, are clear, and we hope to maintain a robust energy dialogue with Venezuela. In the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago is an important source of LNG to the United States. Trinidad provides about 15% of New England's gas needs and 40% of the East Coast's LNG imports. Trinidad is poised to help meet the energy needs of the Caribbean region.
