Washington oversees agreements in CaracasThe U.S. Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, visited Caracas to oversee agreements between Venezuela and multinational oil companies like Chevron and Eni, granting the U.S. control over 20% of Venezuela’s massive oil reserves. This follows an unprecedented deal announced by President Donald Trump, which gives the U.S. majority control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil. During his visit, Wright met with interim President Delcy Rodríguez at the Miraflores Palace and expressed hope that these agreements would bring 'peace' and 'prosperity' to Venezuela, which holds the world’s largest crude oil reserves.
