PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES A HISTORIC US-VENEZUELA ENERGY DEAL TO SAFEGUARD AMERICA
Thanks to President Trump, the United States is restoring prosperity, safety, and security to the United States and Venezuela.
Venezuela was once a wealthy, stable nation whose citizens benefitted from its vast natural resources and enjoyed a strong economic partnership with the United States.
However, for more than two decades, Venezuelan leaders chose a darker path of violence, corruption, and socialism. This shift devastated Venezuela’s economy, impoverished its citizens, and funded global terrorism.
On January 3, 2026, under President Trump’s leadership, the United States successfully apprehended Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, who had been indicted for numerous violent crimes, including Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy.
On January 6, 2026, President Trump announced
an energy deal to strengthen America’s national security in the Western Hemisphere and help restore Venezuela as a responsible, prosperous ally of the United States.
Secretary Wright and the Department of Energy are working with the Interim Venezuelan Authorities and private industry to execute this deal.
