Trump claims US will take control of 65bn barrels of Venezuelan oil

President Donald Trump announced a purported 'biggest oil deal in world history' involving U.S. control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil, primarily from the Orinoco Belt and Lake Maracaibo regions. He claimed the deal would significantly increase American oil reserves, lower gas prices, and boost Venezuela's economic prospects.

The U.S. and Venezuela have not issued formal statements confirming the agreement, and the deal remains unverified. Trump emphasized collaboration with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, alongside Venezuela's interim leader Delcy Rodriguez, through private sector partnerships.
