President Donald Trump has announced that Venezuela will be transferring 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States. He shared this news on the social media platform Truth Social, emphasizing that the oil, deemed high-quality and sanctioned, will be sold at market prices. Trump expressed his intention to oversee the funds generated from this transaction to benefit both Venezuela and the United States.
To execute this plan swiftly, Trump has directed Energy Secretary Chris Wright to take immediate action. The oil will be transported via storage ships directly to unloading docks in the United States. The President concluded his statement with a message of gratitude for the attention given to this initiative.
In related developments, the White House is arranging a meeting in the Oval Office with executives from major oil companies to discuss matters concerning Venezuela. Sources have indicated that representatives from Exxon, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips are expected to participate in this meeting.
Trump’s announcement coincides with recent events involving the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his spouse Cilla Flores by a US military unit. This incident has raised concerns about potential future military operations.
The situation in Venezuela has also drawn attention to Washington’s interests in other regions such as Greenland, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, and Iran. Discussions have emerged regarding various options, including the acquisition of Greenland, which has prompted responses from European leaders in support of Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.
The utilization of the US military remains a viable option for the President, as stated by the White House. Trump maintains that Greenland’s strategic importance to national security justifies the exploration of potential take-over options. European leaders have reiterated their commitment to safeguard Greenland’s territorial integrity in response to these developments.
