In a significant development, the United States has officially started selling Venezuelan oil, culminating in the completion of its first sale, valued at $500 million. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in U.S.-Venezuela relations, occurring after the ousting of Maduro. The initial sales are part of a broader strategy to reshape energy agreements with Venezuela. A portion of the proceeds from this transaction is reported to be directed to a bank in Qatar, raising questions about the financial implications and the overall geopolitical landscape.
