Trump Touts 'Biggest Oil Deal in World History' with Venezuela
US President Donald Trump has announced that the country has secured the 'biggest oil deal in world history' with Venezuela. According to Trump, the agreement will grant majority US control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in the South American nation.
The deal, which was brokered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, is touted as a major coup for the US economy. Trump claims that it will 'more than double American oil reserves' and 'greatly increase our oil supply', ultimately leading to lower gas prices for Americans.
The agreement was struck through a partnership with private business, with no cost to the American taxpayer, Trump emphasized. He hailed the deal as a major success, saying it would help set Venezuela on a path towards 'Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity'.
