🚨Trump Seizes Control of Venezuela’s Oil
President Trump has announced the U.S. will temporarily run Venezuela and its massive energy reserves.
The Strategy:
Infrastructure Blitz: U.S. oil majors (Exxon, Chevron) will spend billions to fix a system that PDVSA says hasn’t been updated in 50 years.
Global Flood :
Plan to sell large amounts of crude to crash energy prices and break Russia’s grip on the market.
The Hard Data :
303 Billion Barrels: Venezuela holds the world’s #1 proven oil reserves (surpassing Saudi Arabia’s 267B).
• Production Gap: Currently pumping ~1M barrels/day, down from a 3.5M peak.
• $100 Billion: Estimated cost to restore production to 4M barrels over the next decade.
Bottom Line: The U.S. now sits on 18% of global oil reserves shifting the geopolitical balance overnight.
