What happened, for context
President Trump announced on August 28 (or Friday of that week) that his administration has reached an agreement with Venezuela's interim president Delcy Rodríguez granting the United States majority control of 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan oil reserves. Trump characterized the deal as "the biggest oil deal in world history" and said it would cost American taxpayers nothing. The agreement involves a partnership with unnamed private operators and grants a 100-year concession to develop 17 oil fields, with projections of $100 billion in private investment to Venezuela and over $209 billion in tax revenue for Caracas.
