US EditionTrump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil: ABC News
The Trump administration demands Venezuela expel China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and partner exclusively with U.S. oil firms, with plans to receive up to 50 million barrels, officials said.
- On Jan 7, 2026, the White House demanded Venezuela expel China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and partner exclusively with the U.S. on oil production to increase output.
- Last month, President Trump ordered a TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE of sanctioned oil tankers, and Trump posted Tuesday that Venezuela’s interim authorities would turn over 30 to 50 million barrels to the U.S.
- Wicker confirmed that Venezuelan tankers are full and cannot move additional crude, and the government aims to control oil shipments without U.S. troops, ABC News reports.
- China criticised the move as a `bullying act`, while U.S. officials said the approach aims to exert `maximum leverage` over Venezuela, with Marco Rubio warning Caracas could face insolvency within weeks.
- The move positions the U.S. to reshape Caracas's energy diplomacy as the administration plans to meet with U.S. oil companies next week to discuss investment and redirecting supplies.
