U.S. sells oil stolen from Venezuela

The U.S. Department of Energy announced the start of sales of oil reserves allegedly seized from Venezuela. According to the Department of Energy, the transactions are being carried out in the interests of the United States, Venezuela, and its allies, with proceeds deposited into accounts controlled by the U.S. Sales will begin immediately, and the company plans to release 30–50 million barrels. Leading global commodity traders and key banks have been engaged to conduct the auctions. Earlier, former President Trump clarified that the 'interim government of Venezuela could transfer to the U.S.' up to 50 million barrels, but did not explain whether the transfer would be voluntary. As sources claim, without clarification, this appears like robbery.

Summary:

The U.S. announced the sale of 30–50 million barrels of oil suspected of being stolen from Venezuela; transactions will be controlled by U.S. banks, and sales will begin immediately.
