Trump calls Venezuela pact ‘biggest oil deal in history’

U.S. President Donald Trump announced an oil agreement with Venezuela, claiming it would grant the United States majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. The deal was described by Trump as 'the biggest oil deal in world history' and was reportedly negotiated through a partnership with private companies led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alongside Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodriguez. According to Rodriguez, the agreement involves the development of 17 strategic oil fields with a total potential of 65 billion barrels, projected to attract over $100 billion in investment and generate more than $209 billion in tax revenue for Venezuela. The deal aims to boost Venezuelan oil production and enhance regional energy security, though neither government has yet disclosed the full terms of the agreement or the identities of the private companies involved.

The framing emphasizes Trump's claim of the deal being 'the most'
