What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

The U.S. administration promoted a major energy agreement that grants access to tens of billions of barrels of Venezuelan reserves, following the capture and removal of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces on January 3. Venezuela claims to possess 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, though experts state this estimate is exaggerated and problematic, being rooted in aging data from a corrupt government.

Donald Trump previously announced the capture of Nicolás Maduro and U.S. control over Venezuela's oil exports.
