Venezuela's Oil Deal With Trump | US News

Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez is hailing a landmark 25-year oil deal with the U.S., promising to unlock 65 billion barrels of reserves and boost daily output to 1.5 million barrels — all while framing it as a path to real development for Venezuelans. The U.S. will take 55% of production and gain ownership stakes, positioning the pact as a win for Western Hemisphere energy security. But reactions are sharply divided: conservatives call it historic progress, while Democrats warn of corruption and question its impact on gas prices. Analysts caution that reviving Venezuela’s battered infrastructure will take years and billions — this isn’t a quick fix. Still, the deal signals a major pivot in U.S.-Venezuela relations, aiming for mutual gain amid deep political and economic challenges.
