US President Donald Trump claims that Venezuela will transfer up to 50 million barrels of oil to the US following a military operation to remove President Nicolás Maduro from power. Trump stated that the oil will be sold at market price, with the revenue controlled by him to benefit both Venezuela and the US. Analysts are skeptical about the feasibility of Trump's plans, citing the need for significant investment and a stable government in Venezuela. The country's oil production has declined since the early 2000s, despite having the world's largest proven oil reserves. US oil companies, including Chevron and ConocoPhillips, have expressed caution regarding Trump's plans.

Former US President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Venezuela will transfer 30-50 million barrels of oil to the US, to be sold at market value with proceeds controlled by the US. The oil, already produced and stored in barrels, will be transported to US facilities in the Gulf for refining. While this amount is significant, it's unlikely to drastically lower US gas prices. The sale could raise $1.65-2.75 billion in revenue. The transfer is expected to happen quickly due to the heavy nature of Venezuelan crude, but experts note that crude oil doesn't spoil if not refined immediately.

US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela will relinquish up to 50 million barrels of oil to the US, worth approximately $2.8 billion at current market prices. The oil will be sold, and the proceeds will be controlled by Trump to benefit both the US and Venezuela. This move is seen as a significant step in extending US economic influence in Venezuela and beyond, potentially at the expense of China, which was previously the top buyer of Venezuelan oil. The announcement led to a drop in West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices. Analysts have varying views on the impact, with some seeing it as a politically significant but economically small move. The deal is part of a broader effort by the US to reduce Venezuela's economic ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.

US President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela will supply $2 billion worth of oil to the US, potentially diverting supplies from China. The deal, facilitated by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, could help Venezuela avoid deeper oil production cuts. Venezuelan officials have been uncooperative, with interim President Delcy Rodríguez hardening her tone against the US, calling Maduro's capture a 'kidnapping' and accusing the US of trying to steal Venezuela's oil reserves. The agreement is seen as a response to Trump's demand that Venezuela open up to US oil companies or risk more military intervention.
