President Donald Trump said the United States plans to tap Venezuela’s oil reserves following the removal of President Nicolás Maduro.
Trump made the comments Sunday, emphasizing that the U.S. would take steps to manage and utilize the country’s oil resources. The announcement comes as Maduro faces U.S. drug trafficking charges and is expected to make his first court appearance in New York.
The move is part of a broader U.S. strategy in the region, which has included sanctions on Venezuelan oil and coordination with interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who has sought to maintain diplomatic engagement with the United States.
