Venezuela: US secures control of oil reserves in Venezuela

The United States has secured access to over one-fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves through a partnership with private companies, according to President Donald Trump. This agreement grants U.S. firms majority control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan crude oil, which would more than double U.S. strategic oil reserves without costing American taxpayers. Trump claims this deal will revive Venezuela's struggling energy sector, create thousands of well-paying jobs, and reduce gasoline prices in the U.S. The move comes amid rising fuel costs and pressure on the Trump administration ahead of midterm elections. Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves but currently produces only 1.25 million barrels per day due to lack of investment and sanctions.
