Controlling Oil_ Trump's Venezuela Strategy
Published 1 day, 21 hours ago
Description
Today, we’re diving into a significant and controversial development in global politics: President Trump’s recent announcement about Venezuelan oil and how it has the potential to reshape not just Venezuelan politics, but also the dynamics of international relations.
On January 6, 2026, President Trump declared that Venezuela's interim authorities are set to deliver between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil to the United States, sold at market prices. That’s not just some liquid gold; it translates to roughly $2.5 billion worth of crude oil. But there’s a twist: Trump indicated that the revenue from these oil sales would be controlled by the U.S. government, aiming to benefit both Venezuelans and Americans alike. It sounds straightforward, but as we go deeper, the complexities of this situation begin to unfold.
