US President Donald Trump announced a historic oil deal with Venezuela, claiming it to be the biggest in world history. According to Trump, the agreement, brokered through Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Venezuela's Interim President Delcy Rodriguez, secures majority US control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.
