"President Donald Trump said Tuesday on his social media site that "Interim Authorities" in Venezuela would be selling 30 million to 50 million barrels of "High Quality" oil to the U.S. at its market price. "I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately," Trump posted on Truth Social. "It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.""
"At least 24 Venezuelan security officers were killed in the dead-of-night U.S. military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro and spirit him to the United States to face drug charges, officials said Tuesday. Venezuelan officials announced the death count as the country's acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, pushed back on President Donald Trump, who earlier this week warned she'd face an outcome worse than Maduro's if she does not "do what's right" and overhaul Venezuela into a country that aligns with U.S. interests."
President Donald Trump announced that interim Venezuelan authorities would sell 30 to 50 million barrels of high-quality oil to the United States at market price and instructed Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute the plan immediately. The oil would be taken by storage ships and brought directly to U.S. unloading docks, with proceeds controlled by Trump and intended to benefit Venezuelans and Americans. The White House scheduled an Oval Office meeting with Exxon, Chevron and ConocoPhillips executives about Venezuela. At least 24 Venezuelan security officers were reported killed during a dead-of-night U.S. military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro, and acting president Delcy Rodriguez rejected U.S. threats.
