America isn’t messing around anymore. And our military might is now paying dividends.
Because Trump just snagged a major jackpot right out of Venezuela.
President Trump revealed Tuesday that Venezuela’s interim authorities will be delivering a large supply of crude oil directly to the United States, a move he framed as a strategic win for American energy and economic interests.
According to Trump, as many as 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil could be transferred and sold at market price, with the proceeds overseen by the U.S. government to ensure they benefit both nations.
The announcement comes amid shifting political dynamics in Venezuela and renewed U.S. leverage over its energy sector.
Trump announced the plan on social media, emphasizing the scale and structure of the deal.
“I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America,” he wrote, adding:
“This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”
Supporters see the move as a sharp contrast to past approaches, turning sanctions and pressure into tangible gains for the U.S.
Trump also said the administration is moving quickly to execute the plan, directing senior energy officials to act without delay.
“I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States,” he stated.
The oil is expected to be shipped straight to U.S. ports, strengthening domestic supply at a time of global uncertainty and volatile energy markets.
The announcement signals a broader shift in U.S.–Venezuela relations and underscores Trump’s emphasis on assertive American energy leadership.
By bringing sanctioned oil into the U.S. system under American control, the administration argues it can boost supply, apply pressure abroad, and potentially help stabilize prices at home.
While critics are already raising questions about the geopolitical implications, Trump allies view the move as another example of an America-first strategy that prioritizes results and leverage over diplomacy for its own sake.
