United States President Donald Trump has announced that Venezuela will be providing the United States with 30 to 50 million barrels of oil. Trump shared this news on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating that the oil will be of high quality and sanctioned, emphasizing that the proceeds will benefit both Venezuela and the United States. The President has directed Energy Secretary Chris Wright to promptly implement the plan, with the oil being transported by storage ships directly to US unloading docks.
Furthermore, the White House is arranging a meeting in the Oval Office with oil company executives to discuss Venezuela. Representatives from Exxon, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips are expected to attend. This development follows the recent capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilla Flores by a US military squadron, raising concerns about potential future military operations.
In addition to the Venezuela oil deal, Trump has been exploring various strategies to acquire Greenland, a move that has garnered international attention and support for Denmark, the current sovereign of Greenland. The US President’s intentions have prompted European leaders to stand behind Denmark in safeguarding Greenland’s territorial integrity. Moreover, the use of the US military remains an option for Trump in pursuing these objectives.
