U.S. Eyes Venezuela’s Oil Reserves | US News

The U.S. is reportedly negotiating a major deal to gain access to Venezuela’s most productive oil fields — not the entire reserve, but over a dozen key sites previously tied to government-linked or Chinese interests. Officials call it “massive,” with potential for American firms to help develop the fields and funnel more revenue back into Venezuela. Energy Secretary Chris Wright may visit next week as talks intensify, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Venezuelan acting President Delcy Rodríguez. The White House stresses this isn’t about handing over resources, but boosting Venezuela’s economy — especially as global oil supply tightens amid conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, and U.S. reserves hit their lowest since 1982.
