President Trump and the US just signed the LARGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY, obtaining 65 BILLION barrels of oil from Venezuela

Posted on 08/28/2026 3:55:21 PM PDT by janetjanet998

The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY! At my direction, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, working closely with Highly Respected Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodriguez, and, through a partnership with private business, have secured majority U.S. control of more than 65 BILLION BARRELS of proven Oil Reserves in Venezuela, at no cost to the American Taxpayer."

"This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity."
"This Transaction will greatly strengthen the already growing relationship between Venezuela and the United States! Thank you for your attention to this groundbreaking matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Gas prices won’t go down much and it’ll take a year or better.

How will it provide lower gas prices for Americans? Are we stealing it by coercing control of it at below-free market prices? If the deal is corrupt it will reflect badly on the US and be another self-destructive act in a world that already says “Yeah, we like the heartless, brutal communist dictators more than the US” in polls.

So what does 65B relate to? What are our present known reserves in comparison? Sometimes these numbers look huge and then you realize that we use 10B/year.

US refineries are set up to run medium grade crude. US fracked crude is so light and sweet we need sour crude from to add to it for refineries to operate at peak

Is the glass half full or half empty? I don’t think you have a glass.

...given how many times we’ve reached trade agreements and ended war with Iran, I’ll wait for INDEPENDENT confirmation on snagging 65B barrels of oil.

Should we expect to see a lot more Venezuelans in the US?

No cost eh? Such a deal.

Iran holds the world’s third-largest proven crude oil reserves, officially estimated at approximately 208.6 billion barrels. This immense volume represents roughly 12% of total global oil reserves and nearly 24% of the oil reserves in the Middle East. Only Venezuela and Saudi Arabia rank higher

Because Donald Trump doesn’t just take things from people. Never has.

What’s going on here? What does Venezuela get for this much oil? I’m thinking free trade. Free travel.
