Trump pitches U.S. stake in Venezuela’s oil to cool gas prices

President Trump announced a plan to give the United States a majority stake in Venezuela’s oil reserves through a private joint venture, claiming it would replenish U.S. oil stocks and help lower gas prices. The deal isn’t final and faces legal, logistical, and political hurdles, including Venezuela’s constitutional constraints and infrastructure needs, with analysts cautioning that any near-term price impact would likely be limited.
