The United States and Venezuela have finalized a major oil agreement that grants Washington majority control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven petroleum reserves. President Donald Trump announced the transaction, describing it as historic and stating that it more than doubles American oil reserves, increases domestic supply, and will substantially lower gas prices.
Simultaneously, Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the economic benefits for the Latin American nation, stating on X that the deal will secure stable reserves and bring nearly $100 billion in private investment to Venezuela. Caracas officially confirmed the agreement on Friday, with interim leader Delcy characterizing the pact as a historic accord expected to have a significant impact on the rebirth of the nation.
