Trump Seals Deal for 65 Billion Barrels of Venezuelan Oil
President Donald Trump has made a historic deal to secure rights to 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil, effectively doubling America's energy reserves. This move puts pressure on OPEC and Canada in the global energy market.
The deal was announced by Trump on Friday night, stating that it would not cost American taxpayers any money. Experts predict this move will realign global energy in favor of the United States.
Sam Romain, chairman of Americans for Energy Dominance, said this announcement is a long-term vision for American energy dominance and getting out of the OPEC cartel.
Romain also highlighted Canada's reliance on sending crude oil to the US, stating that if they stop, it would not have a significant impact on the country. He compared their relationship to trading gasoline, saying 'it's a paper tiger' if they try to shut down the pipeline.
