Trump says US is taking partial control of Venezuela’s vast oil reserves

US President Donald Trump announced a plan for the United States to gain majority control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's oil reserves, aiming to rejuvenate Venezuela's energy sector and lower US fuel prices. The proposed agreement involves partnerships with private businesses and has been welcomed by Venezuelan leaders, who expect it to attract around $100 billion in investment, create jobs, and increase oil production. However, analysts question the legality and practicality of the deal, citing Venezuela's constitutional framework and lack of precedents for such arrangements. Concerns include the feasibility of attracting investment due to Venezuela's history of underinvestment and mismanagement in the oil industry.
