US secures 100-year deal for Venezuela oil reserves

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The United States has reportedly secured a significant, 100-year deal for access to Venezuela's vast oil reserves, a move championed by former President Donald Trump as a historic energy agreement. The deal, negotiated by key figures including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez, aims to revitalize Venezuela's oil industry and potentially lower U.S. gas prices. However, details remain scarce, and experts caution that the dilapidated state of Venezuela's infrastructure means substantial increases in oil production will likely take many years and billions of dollars in investment.
