White House: U.S. Has Begun "Marketing" Venezuelan Crude Oil in the Market

Odaily News The White House Press Secretary Levitt stated that the U.S. government "has begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil to the global market." She added: "Proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan crude oil and products will first be deposited into a U.S.-controlled account at a globally recognized bank. These funds will be allocated by the U.S. government at its discretion to the American people and the Venezuelan people, to 'benefit' both nations." Trump said yesterday that the Venezuelan interim government would transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States.
