Venezuela's Delcy Rodriguez says the 25-year oil deal with President Donald Trump targets 1.5 million barrels per day across 17 strategic oilfields initially.

Campos-Duffy warned that only the implementation of free elections in Venezuela would prove what the administration’s purpose was freeing the people.

The deal cements the United States' long-term dominance over Venezuela, which has become a neo-colony since the U.S. military's capture of former President Nicolás Maduro in January

Maria Elvira Salazar criticized Donald Trump's latest move on Venezuelan oil - before awkwardly deleting her original post and replacing it with praise.

President Donald Trump is touting his sweeping new oil agreement with Venezuela as a historic economic and national-security victory, but the deal is drawing unusual criticism from both the political left and right, Venezuelan democracy advocates, and foreign-policy experts who question whether Washington is putting oil ahead of free elections.
