Maduro pleaded not guilty in court on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Interim authorities, led by acting President Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, appear to be cooperating with the transfer, which involves oil previously blocked by U.S. sanctions and a recent blockade on exports. The deal could redirect supplies away from China and ease pressure on Venezuela\u2019s storage capacity, potentially preventing further production cuts.<\/p>\n<p>The move underscores Trump\u2019s focus on Venezuela\u2019s vast oil reserves\u2014the world\u2019s largest\u2014and his plans to involve U.S. companies in rebuilding the country\u2019s decaying infrastructure. Oil prices dipped slightly following the news, with analysts noting increased supply prospects for the U.S. market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-date no-social-btn post-updated\">Updated on<time class=\"updated dt-updated\" itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2026-01-07T07:17:19+00:00\"> 7 January 2026<\/time><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump says Venezuela\u2019s interim authorities will transfer 30\u201350 million barrels of sanctioned crude to the U.S., to be sold at market price with proceeds controlled by his administration \u2014 a move tied to the recent U.S. operation that captured Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and framed as benefiting both countries.
