Florida: US President Donald Trump announced that an additional 100 million barrels of oil from Venezuela is en route to the United States. Speaking at a news conference in Florida, Trump revealed that the initial batch of 100 million barrels has already arrived in Houston, marking a significant development in US-Venezuela relations.
According to Anadolu Agency, the recent collaboration follows a period of heightened tensions between the two nations. The US captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, leading to a series of significant changes in Venezuela. These changes included the swearing-in of Venezuela's vice president and oil minister, Delcy Rodriguez, as interim president, amendments to the country's flagship oil law, and the release of some political prisoners.
Trump emphasized that the situation is beneficial for both countries, describing the relationship with Venezuela as "extraordinary." He noted the development as a partnership that is progressing well, highlighting the mutual benefits for both nations involved.
