Washington \/ Caracas:<\/strong> President Trump revealed the plan in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social<\/em>, on Tuesday. In the message, he said the Venezuelan crude oil to be delivered is \u201chigh-quality, sanctioned oil\u201d and will be sold at market prices, with the proceeds controlled by him as President of the United States. Trump stated that the funds would be used in ways that support both the Venezuelan and American people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the arrangement, the oil will be transported on storage ships and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States, according to Trump, who has directed U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright to implement the plan immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The announcement follows a U.S. military operation in Venezuela over the weekend that led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and his subsequent transfer to the United States on federal charges. The upheaval has reshaped political dynamics in Caracas and set the stage for a significant shift in U.S.\u2013Venezuela relations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump framed the forthcoming oil transfer as a strategic step to stabilize energy supplies and reinforce U.S. influence in Latin America. He said the move would help harness Venezuela\u2019s vast petroleum resources\u2014among the largest in the world\u2014and redirect them toward the U.S. market at a time of global energy uncertainty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Industry analysts estimate that at current prices, 30\u201350 million barrels could be worth up to $2\u20133 billion, representing a significant infusion of crude into the U.S. market. However, the transfer and control of Venezuelan oil revenues by the U.S. president have raised questions among energy experts, foreign policy analysts, and international legal observers about sovereignty, legality, and long-term market impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside the announcement, the White House has reportedly scheduled meetings with senior executives from major U.S. oil companies to discuss reopening involvement in Venezuela\u2019s energy sector. Representatives from firms such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips are expected to attend discussions on future collaboration and investment strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Venezuelan government officials and allies have strongly condemned the U.S. actions, with some denouncing the capture of Maduro as illegal and the oil transfer as an infringement on national sovereignty. Interim President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez has rejected foreign interference and declared national opposition to the U.S. move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plan has significant implications for global energy markets, U.S.\u2013Latin America relations, and the future of Venezuela\u2019s troubled oil industry\u2014once among the most productive in the world but crippled in recent years by economic decline and international sanctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Washington \/ Caracas:In a major geopolitical announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Venezuela\u2019s interim authorities will transfer between 30 million and 50 million barrels of oil to the United States\u2014a move he said will benefit both nations and comes amid dramatic political upheaval in Venezuela.
