Trump announces Venezuela turning over millions of barrels of oil to US government 'immediately'
President Donald Trump announced Venezuela will transfer 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S. following dictator Nicolás Maduro's capture, with proceeds to benefit both nations.
"This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America," Trump said.
