Trump Says the Relationship Between the Us and Venezuela Is "Extraordinary" and that Oil Revenue Will Help Venezuelans.

Trump highlighted oil revenue benefits for Venezuelans and denied private oilman Harry Sargeant III represents the US amid efforts to open Venezuela's oil reserves.

  • Last month, President Donald Trump said relations with Venezuela have been `extraordinary` since his army captured former President Nicolás Maduro, and his administration is opening Venezuela's oil reserves to commercial players.
  • Interim leader Delcy Rodríguez took over after Maduro's ouster and has sought to maintain cordial relations with the US.
  • According to four sources, Harry Sargeant III and his team advised the Trump administration on American oil companies returning to Venezuela, though Sargeant said, `But we speak only for ourselves, and don’t want there to be any confusion or misrepresentation`.
  • In a Truth Social post, Trump said no one is authorized to represent the US without State Department approval and denied a Wall Street Journal report that Harry Sargeant III is acting on behalf of the US in Venezuela.
  • His long history includes Venezuela's oil industry, with businesses buying and exporting asphalt and investing in oil fields, highlighting his deep commercial footprint.
