Former President Donald Trump confirmed that his government is already working on an energy and economic strategy that will involve the direct participation of key industry players.

As explained by the former U.S. president, a meeting will be held at the White House in the coming days with top executives from the oil industry, aimed at designing the commercialization process of Venezuelan crude and defining the use of the revenues generated. "We are seizing billions and billions of dollars in oil... but we will be there until we straighten out the country," stated Trump, emphasizing that the United States will maintain its involvement in Venezuela until achieving political and economic stability.

The announcement reinforces the strategic importance of Venezuelan oil, one of the world's largest reserves, as a central axis for the country's future and as a key tool for international pressure.

Trump also revealed that he could meet with María Corina Machado next week, the leader of the Venezuelan opposition and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, in a meeting that would symbolize Washington's support for the democratic alternative. "I hope to be able to greet her, and I have heard that she wants to do so, which would be a great honor," he declared. The potential meeting would consolidate Machado's role as a key figure in the Venezuelan political transition.
