Last update: 12 hours agoVenezuela Oil Deal: President Trump says the U.S. has struck the “biggest oil deal in world history,” seeking majority control of 65B+ barrels of proven reserves via a 100-year venture tied to 17 fields, with Venezuela touting $100B investment and $209B+ in taxes; details on timing, drilling, and the full contract text remain unclear.
