From Breitbart:
In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that the oil would “be sold at its Market Price,” and that Trump would ensure the money from the sales would be “used to benefit the people of Venezuela” and the U.S.
“I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America,” Trump said. “This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”
“I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately,” Trump added. “It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.”
Venezuela is known for its high quantities of oil. According to Breitbart, the nation has approximately $17.3 trillion in oil reserves, exceeding the collective global gross domestic product when excluding China and the U.S.
There is, however, trouble in paradise. According to The Telegraph, several oil tankers fled Venezuela following Saturday’s attack. The ships, most of which were loaded with oil and fuel, left the nation to avoid being boarded by U.S. forces.
It is unclear how these fleeing ships will affect President Trump’s promise of millions of barrels of oil. Let’s continue to pray for Venezuela in the wake of Maduro’s capture, and let’s thank God for the blessing of this oil!
