What is the oil agreement between the U.S. and Venezuela? What we know
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump announced a significant oil agreement with Venezuela that could provide the U.S. access to vast untapped oil reserves at cost price. The deal, negotiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, involves the development of 17 oil fields with proven reserves of 65 billion barrels, potentially attracting $100 billion in investments and generating over $209 billion in taxes for Caracas. The agreement allows the U.S. to partner with an unnamed private operator in Venezuela, granting them 55% of the new company's production. However, experts warn that substantial increases in Venezuelan oil production will take years due to infrastructure challenges.
