The United States has enough Venezuelan oil to last 500 years, Donald Trump said at the Republican National Convention. "65 billion barrels are ours. You know what that means? For life, 500 years," the American leader said. He called the agreement with Venezuela "possibly the biggest deal in US history." The agreement provides for the development of 17 strategic fields, investments of over $100 billion, and increased oil production with the participation of private companies. According to Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez, the agreement will also bring the country over $200 billion in tax revenue. More IZ RU news in MAX
The oil deal between Caracas and Washington is beneficial for both Venezuela and other countries, said Venezuelan Interim President Delcy Rodriguez. "We are not only ensuring a bright future for Venezuela, but also helping the world, our hemisphere, ensuring international energy security, helping to balance the global economy," Ms. Rodriguez said on state television. She also thanked US President Donald Trump for his openness to cooperation in the oil sector.

Live: #VENEZUELA Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, thanked Donald Trump for the oil agreement concluded between her country and the United States, which she said will bring "well-being" to the country...
U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Venezuelan interim President Delcy Rodriguez signed an oil deal in Caracas on Wednesday that gives the United States majority control of 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves. That’s about a fifth of Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. U.S. President Donald Trump has called the deal “the largest oil deal in the history of the world.” The deal gives the United States preferential access to 17 Venezuelan oil fields, some of which were previously owned by Russian and Chinese companies. Chevron Corp. also announced a separate $7 billion deal to develop two more fields in the Orinoco Belt. Chevron says the investment could more than double its production in Venezuela within five years. The U.S. Energy Secretary has projected that Venezuela’s oil output will reach more than two million barrels per day by the end of the decade, about double the level in January, when U.S. forces ousted Nicolas Maduro and installed Delcy Rodriguez. The deal has also faced criticism, with critics accusing Rodriguez of ceding sovereignty over Venezuela’s oil resources. The Venezuelan government says the deal will help the country tap its energy potential and attract investment. @VahidHeadline @VahidOnline
Venezuelan oil at a historical turning point; from the nationalization of the oil industry to the return of the United States The recent extensive oil agreement between the interim government of Venezuela headed by Delcy Rodriguez and the administration of Donald Trump cannot be considered simply an economic contract to increase oil production. In terms of the size of the reserves, the duration of implementation, the operational share of the American side and its political consequences, this agreement is a turning point in the history of the Venezuelan oil industry and perhaps the most important revision of the country's oil policy since the nationalization of the oil industry in 1976.

Caracas and Washington have signed a 25-year energy agreement, Venezuelan Interim President Delcy Rodriguez announced. The document provides for the development of 17 strategic oil fields with the goal of increasing production to 1.5 million barrels per day. Approximately $19 from each barrel produced and sold under the deal will go directly to Venezuela. According to Rodriguez, the agreement could bring the Venezuelan budget about $209 billion in revenue at a base oil price of $65 per barrel. US President Donald Trump previously said that Washington had gained majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan oil reserves through a partnership with private business.

Maduro's successor's response to the Trump administration's plunder of Venezuelan oil: It will be a catalyst for the country's reconstruction! Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, claimed that we have concluded a historic agreement with the United States that will have a huge impact on the movement and prosperity of our country. She went on to add that our agreement with Washington will help the flow of large capital aimed at rebuilding Venezuela's strategic infrastructure. @TasnimNews [in reply to: Trump's plunder of Venezuela's national wealth; Looting 65 Billion Barrels of Oil In his latest move to plunder the resources of independent countries, Donald Trump, the head of the terrorist US government, has claimed to have reached an agreement with Venezuela that he calls "the greatest deal in the history of the world." Trump proudly announced that his foreign and war ministers had succeeded in securing Washington's access to more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves. This agreement, which effectively means a direct seizure of Venezuela's national assets, was reached at no cost to American taxpayers. @TasnimNews]
US President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that the United States has reached an agreement with Venezuela that he called "the largest oil deal in the history of the world." Trump said that under the agreement, and with the participation of the private sector, the United States will take control of the majority of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves at no cost to American taxpayers. He added that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Secretary of War Pete Hegsett, in collaboration with Venezuela's interim President Delcy Rodriguez, played a role in reaching the agreement. Trump said the agreement will more than double US oil reserves, significantly increase oil supply and, in the long term, help lower gasoline prices for Americans. @VahidOOnLine

“For the Venezuelan people, this agreement will bring nearly $100 billion in private sector investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and drive the reconstruction of the Venezuelan economy,” Rubio wrote in X.

It is not clear that Donald Trump will really be able to bend Venezuela to his will, much less the Americas as a whole. The dauntless president is nonetheless itching to embark on more foreign escapades

This market will resolve to the individual who officially holds the position of the head of state of Venezuela on Dec 31, 2026 at 12 PM ET.
For the purposes of this market, "officially holds" refers to the individual that was formally appointed, confirmed (if confirmation is required), and sworn in as the head of state of Venezuela or otherwise confirmed by official government information as being the head of state of Venezuela.
If the Venezuelan government does not clearly state who is the head of state, the market will resolve to the individual who is listed as the Head of State by the UN (see: https://www.un.org/dgacm/en/content/protocol/hshgnfa).
In the event that more than one official head of state is listed by the Venezuelan government, this market will resolve to the individual who is listed as having primary status. If no distinction is made, the market will resolve to the individual who first assumed the position.
If no individual holds the position this market will resolve to “No Head of State”.
The following do NOT constitute "officially holding" the role: nominated, announced, or designated as the head of state of Venezuela but appointment not yet effective; appointed with an effective date after Dec 31, 2026; previously served as the head of state of Venezuela but term has expired, resigned, or been terminated before Dec 31, 2026; serving as the head of state of Venezuela in a consultant, contractor, or unofficial capacity; named as successor or heir apparent to the head of state of Venezuela but not yet appointed; or holding a different role with oversight of the head of state of Venezuela but not the specified position itself.
The primary resolution source will be official information from the UN recognized government of Venezuela. If the Government of Venezuela does not clearly state who is the head of state, information from the UN and a consensus of credible reporting may be used.
