President Donald Trump on Friday said the U.S. has entered an agreement with Venezuela to take control of 65 billion barrels of the South American country’s oil reserves.
Trump in a social media post announced the agreement he said was negotiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodriguez.
“The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!” Trump wrote.

How does that work?
They will get paid for it.
I agree. How are we doing this?
Why can not a simple negotiation work in the middle east, but Venezuela just hands things over?
Cuba is begging for a new sugar daddy but there is nothing on the table?
And Canada is standing toe to toe with us on stupid stuff?
We can’t even buy Greenland but other countries we simply take?
“How does that work?”
Here are a couple of paragraphs from a WSJ article from yesterday.
“The deal would give the U.S. a foothold in at least 17 of Venezuela’s most promising oil-and-gas fields, housing some 90 billion barrels of proven reserves, almost twice that of the U.S. Venezuela says it has 300 billion barrels of proven reserves, the largest in the world.
Some of the details the U.S. and Venezuela are still working out include whether the U.S. would create joint ventures with private companies, or whether the U.S. would hire companies to work the oil fields, according to one of the people.”

Should be fun watch TDS Positive FReeptards twist themselves into pretzels to criticize this.
Check the duplicate post.
Sweet sweet crude. Thank you Mister President.
Ask yourself, who is NOT getting this oil ?
Trump just lowered gas prices for Americans at zero cost to taxpayers. This seems historic.
yup....Venezuela needs this deal as much as anyone else...it works for them and works for America....
“Should be fun watch TDS Positive FReeptards twist themselves into pretzels to criticize this.”
That probably won’t take long.
This deal could bring back the middle-class in Venezuela. It will be great for both countries. Remember, Venezuela was pretty much the richest country in South America before communism took over and destroyed everything capitalism had built.

It’s already fun. Two threads of it
Looking for a hand-wringing emoji. Doesn’t exist
Oooookay. So, when does this affect our gas prices? Or does it just continue to fill the oil barons’ pockets?
This!!!!!! See #5
Young men working the oil patch may find some pretty ladies there. I seem to recall many outstanding entries in past Ms. Universe pageants.
