Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced the receipt of 80 million barrels of oil from Venezuela and the start of a new phase of energy cooperation between the countries. Speaking in Texas, he emphasized excellent relations with the Venezuelan government led by Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, noting that the oil will be processed and sold through Texas on the world market, which will bring Venezuela "more money than ever." Trump also reported a significant increase in natural gas exports as part of this partnership.
