Donald Trump announces historic oil deal with Venezuela at UN
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a major energy development in Venezuela. He stated that the U.S. has signed a historic oil agreement covering approximately 65 billion barrels of oil reserves, a move intended to benefit both nations and lower global energy costs.
Trump highlighted that major international and American oil companies are already investing billions of dollars to rebuild and expand Venezuela's energy infrastructure. He noted that these companies are constructing new platforms and upgrading old facilities to revitalize the sector.
Addressing the political landscape, Trump referenced the January 2026 military operation that led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro. He asserted that the U.S. administration is working directly with current Venezuelan leaders, including acting president Delcy Rodríguez, to foster a better future for the country. Rodríguez was present at the UN during his address.
