The American website “The Maritime Executive” stated on Monday that it is likely a sharp debate will arise over the Turkish-Libyan agreement on the issue of oil exploration, and it is possible that some of those who strongly opposed the division at the beginning may have now changed their positions, believing that the potential economic gains during Trump’s administration may outweigh the previous political understandings and the possible violations of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The website confirmed that the revival of this Libyan-Turkish claim could become part of a settlement for the ongoing Libyan political crisis, and among many other issues, Greece and Turkey are competing for regional control over the area, according to the website.
