Trump said the interim president of Venezuela will «be turning over» 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to be sold at market prices in the US.
President Donald Trump said he’s wasting no time when it comes to oil in Venezuela.
In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said that the interim president of Venezuela will «be turning over» between 30 and 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil, and that the oil would be sold at market prices, with the revenue overseen by him as president to ensure it benefits both Venezuela and the US.
«It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States», Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added that he directed Energy Secretary Chris Wright to carry out the plan «immediately.»
It is unclear if the plan will face legal hurdles, and further details are unknown.
