🚨 #BREAKING : OIL MARKETS REACT TO U.S.–VENEZUELA DEAL 🛢️🌍

Recent developments are shaking up global energy and markets are already feeling the impact. Here’s the clean, straightforward update:

• President Donald Trump announced that 30–50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil will be turned over to the United States and refined at U.S. facilities — a step he says helps both countries.

• Trump also stated that by combining U.S. and Venezuelan oil resources, they now control about 55% of the world’s oil — this claim is sending ripples through markets and geopolitics.

• The White House hosted top executives from Chevron, Exxon and ConocoPhillips to talk about rebuilding Venezuelan oil infrastructure and bringing in $100 billion in private investment.

• The administration signed an executive order to protect Venezuelan oil revenue in U.S. accounts and tighten control over how the proceeds are handled.

• U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright says Chevron has identified a path to boost Venezuelan production by up to 50% over the next 18–24 months, if conditions line up.

📉 Market reaction right now

Oil prices dipped as traders price in the potential for more supply hitting the market — especially if Venezuelan output starts climbing and more barrels flow globally.

🌎 Geopolitical angle

This is a big shift, redirecting Venezuela’s oil toward U.S. refiners and away from past buyers. China and Russia are paying close attention, as it could reduce their regional influence.
