Trump says Venezuela will exclusively buy products made in the U.S.

Washington.- U.S. President Donald Trump assured this Wednesday that Venezuela committed to buying “exclusively” products manufactured in his country, with the money resulting from its new oil agreement. In a Truth Social post, the president said that “Venezuela will exclusively buy products made in the United States with the money it receives from our new Oil agreement”.

Trump added that the purchases will include “agricultural products, medicines, medical devices, and equipment manufactured in the United States“.

With this new announcement, the United States will become Venezuela’s “main partner,” according to the Republican. The announcement comes 24 hours after it was confirmed that Caracas is about to deliver between 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States.

The White House assured this Wednesday that it maintains “maximum influence” over the interim Government of Delcy Rodríguez in Venezuela and stated that the U.S. has already begun to market crude oil from the Caribbean country seized by Washington as part of the apparent agreement reached between both countries. “(Venezuela) will no longer send or traffic people or criminal cartels to assassinate U.S. citizens, as they have done in the past, and the president is fully implementing his foreign policy of peace through strength,” said U.S. presidential spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt this afternoon.
