🇺🇸🇻🇪US Selling Venezuelan Oil; Considers Private Security, Seizes Tanker The US has initiated the sale of Venezuelan oil, with the first batch valued at $500 million. The Department of Energy is spearheading the sale of approximately 50 million barrels, previously held due to a partial blockade. This move follows a reported conversation between US and Venezuelan leaders, signaling a potential shift in relations and strategic interests. The Trump administration is reportedly considering using private military contractors to protect Venezuelan oil infrastructure. This aims to reassure oil companies without a large US military presence. The US has now seized another Venezuela-linked tanker, according to Reuters. Erik Prince, the former founder of Blackwater, is among those being considered for the private security contracts. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
