President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will receive 30-50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil following a conversation with acting President Delcy Rodríguez. Trump stated the oil is already en route and proceeds will benefit both nations. This development follows a January 2026 U.S. operation that led to Maduro's capture and Rodríguez's interim presidency, with Venezuelan authorities agreeing to transfer sanctioned oil to the U.S. for sale.
