Caption: Trump Says Venezuela Will Hand Over Millions of Barrels of Oil to the US. US President Donald Trump says Venezuela will transfer between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil to the United States following a surprise military operation that removed Nicolás Maduro from power. Trump said the oil would be sold at market prices, with the revenue controlled by him and used to benefit both Venezuela and the US. He also claimed American oil companies could have Venezuela's energy sector operational within 18 months. However, energy analysts remain sceptical, warning that restoring production could take tens of billions of dollars and many years. Venezuela's oil is heavy, difficult to refine, and its infrastructure has been in long-term decline. While Trump argues the move could help keep global oil prices down, experts say major US firms are likely to move cautiously, waiting for political stability before making large investments.
