Trump Announces: Venezuela's 30-50 Million Barrels of Crude Oil "Change Hands," US Resource Control Strategy Enters Implementation Phase

In a recent statement released on social media, US President Trump announced that Venezuela will transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of high-quality crude oil currently under sanctions to the United States. If sold at market prices, this batch of oil could be worth up to $3 billion.

Trump emphasized in the statement that the proceeds from the sale of the oil will be directly controlled by him as President of the United States, and he pledged to ensure that these funds are "used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States."

According to ABC News, the Trump administration has informed Venezuela's interim President Rodriguez that the regime must meet the White House's requirements to be allowed to extract more oil. Additionally, Venezuela must agree to cooperate exclusively with the US in oil production and prioritize the US when selling heavy crude oil.

To ensure immediate implementation of the plan, he has instructed Energy Secretary Chris Wray to carry it out promptly. The specific transportation plan involves these oils being shipped directly via oil tankers to unloading ports in the United States.

This announcement is the first concrete economic resource disposal plan disclosed by the US following recent military actions against Venezuela and the control of President Maduro.

This series of disposal plans aims to respond to Trump's previous call for the US to "fully acquire Venezuela's oil resources," and also marks a strategic shift from military operations to substantive resource control and economic gains.

However, this move will not only disrupt the existing global energy market landscape but also trigger a series of far-reaching and difficult-to-reconcile reactions and disputes at the geopolitical and international legal levels.
