Trump Says Venezuela’s Interim Government Will Provide Oil to the U.S.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela’s interim government will supply 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States, with the proceeds reportedly under U.S. government control.
In a statement shared on social media, Trump said the funds would be used for the benefit of both the U.S. and Venezuelan people.
Analysts view this announcement as a clear indication that Venezuela’s interim government is willing to open its oil sector to U.S. companies under American pressure.
Trump had previously demanded that interim President Delsi Rodriguez grant full access to Venezuela’s oil industry for the U.S. government and private American firms.
Reports indicate that Venezuela has millions of barrels of oil stored in tankers and reserves, which could not be exported due to U.S. sanctions imposed in mid-December. These sanctions were part of the pressure that eventually led to U.S. military action and the potential arrest of former President Nicolas Maduro.#Trump's #write2earn🌐💹
