Story summary

As of September 10, 2026, the Trump administration announced a significant deal with Venezuela's interim government that would give the U.S. control over 65 billion barrels worth of Venezuelan oil fields and a major share of daily production. Energy Secretary Chris Wright met with Delcy Rodríguez, acting president of Venezuela, in Caracas to discuss the partnership. Critics argue the deal strengthens an "illegitimate" regime while delaying democratic elections. The U.S. claims the arrangement will help rebuild Venezuela's economy but has not set a firm timeline for when elections might take place, despite calls from opposition leaders and residents for immediate democratization.
