He said purchases would include agricultural products, medicines, medical devices, and equipment to upgrade Venezuela&#8217;s electric grid and energy facilities. The deal described would have Venezuela give its oil to the U.S. to sell, with proceeds remitted back to Caracas, while Washington would set prices and buyers-possibly cutting off China, Cuba, Iran, and Russia. Trump presented the arrangement as a diplomatic and economic win following a recent U.S. operation in Caracas; the acting Venezuelan government under Delcy Rodr\u00edguez has reportedly signaled willingness to work with the U.S. Observers warn the shift risks backlash from Venezuela&#8217;s military, security forces, and the Cuban personnel embedded there.Senator Marco Rubio has outlined a three-step plan for Venezuela&#8217;s future: stabilization, recovery, and a transition of power.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump says Venezuela will buy US products exclusively using money from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunters-world-biden-son-had-tentacles-in-dark-corners-of-the-world-far-beyond-china-ukraine\/\" title=\"Hunter\u2019s World: Biden Son Had Tentacles In Dark Corners Of the World Far Beyond ..., Ukraine\">oil deal<\/a><\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2465966\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> said Wednesday that <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/venezuela\/\">Venezuela<\/a> would exclusively purchase U.S. products with money generated from an oil deal with the new Rodriguez government.<\/p>\n<p>Trump announced the development <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/115856078669121098\">in a post<\/a> on Truth Social, saying Venezuela was now turning the United States into its principal trading partner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4409464\/us-sell-venezuelan-oil-indefinitely-remit-proceeds-wright\/\">US will sell Venezuelan oil &#8216;indefinitely&#8217; and remit proceeds, Wright says<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy-and-environment\/4409441\/trump-finalizes-rollback-environmental-rules-infrastructure\/\">Trump finalizes rollback of environmental rules blamed for crimping infrastructure<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/4407515\/oil-industry-winners-maduro-capture\/\">Oil industry winners from Maduro capture<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I have just been informed that Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal.
