US President Donald Trump has announced that Venezuela will send up to 50 million barrels of oil to the US, days after Washington’s offensive on the Latin American country and the dramatic capture of its president, Nicolas Maduro.
In a post on X, Trump said the oil will be sold at market price, “and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”
He further said that he has asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute the plan. “It will be taken by storage ships and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States,” he added.
