Venezuelan insiders \u2014 including some who have since been indicted \u2014 and interests linked to China previously controlled the fields. Now, with American companies set to spearhead development, the interim government in Caracas is reportedly pushing for a complete exit from OPEC as part of the broader agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCalling this deal huge would be an understatement. It is massive,\u201d remarked a senior U.S. official.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is what America First energy policy actually looks like. While Washington\u2019s foreign policy establishment spent a decade funding and arming overseas conflicts, the Trump administration set its sights on securing strategic resources in the Western Hemisphere \u2014 without firing a single new shot. After the capture of Nicol\u00e1s Maduro in January, the deal-making is nearly complete.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s Donroe Doctrine is delivering results where previous sanctions, NATO summits, and UN resolutions have failed. U.S. companies may soon operate some of the world\u2019s richest oil fields \u2014 in America\u2019s backyard \u2014 under 100-year leases, generating revenue for both nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strategic logic is clear. The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen to a 40-year low following Biden\u2019s mismanagement. Global crude supply remains strained. The Strait of Hormuz crisis has made Middle Eastern dependence a permanent liability. Venezuela, sitting atop the world\u2019s largest proven reserves, offers an alternative that no globalist energy summit could manufacture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese-linked interests had been quietly expanding their foothold in South America for years, controlling major oil fields in the Orinoco Belt \u2014 a 600-kilometer petroleum corridor stretching across eastern Venezuela. Those interests are now being transferred to American hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legitimate questions about transparency in managing existing Venezuelan oil revenues deserve answers. But the strategic direction is correct. The globalists spent decades offshoring American energy security. Trump is putting it back \u2014 one deal at a time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/my.cdm.press\/\">&#8216;NO AD&#8217; subscription for CDM!
