According to Axios, the U.S.is close to securing a &#8220;massive&#8221; agreement involving American ownership stakes in several productive Venezuelan oil fields,potentially through a 100-year lease.This move would notably double U.S. oil reserves and extend American influence in the hemisphere. The negotiations are in early stages, and not all Venezuelan reserves are involved. <\/p>\n<p>These developments come after a bold U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/confirmed-chinese-troops-on-canadian-soil-during-military-exercises\/\" title=\"Confirmed: Chinese Troops on Canadian Soil During Military Exercises\">military operation<\/a> in January, dubbed &#8220;Operation Absolute Resolve,&#8221; which successfully captured Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro and facilitated the reopening of the U.S. embassy in Venezuela. The article highlights the strategic significance of this potential deal amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, especially concerning the Strait of Hormuz.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button

problem.<\/p>\n<p>According to a scoop from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2026\/08\/27\/trump-venezuela-oil-deal-talks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>, the U.S. is nearing a \u201cmassive\u201d oil deal with Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>And \u201cmassive\u201d actually feels apt here: The U.S. is reportedly in talks of taking an ownership stake in Venezuela\u2019s large oil industry.<\/p>\n<p>Two unnamed U.S. officials reiterated to Axios just how monumental a potential move this could be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalling this deal huge would be an understatement,\u201d one of the officials said. \u201cIt is massive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A second official added: \u201cPresident Trump is close to securing America\u2019s energy future for generations to come, not just in the U.S. but in the hemisphere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal, which would be one of the very first of its kind, would more than double America\u2019s oil reserves \u2014 a notable development, given the current state of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Still in its early stages, it\u2019s not abundantly clear what this deal would exactly involve.<\/p>\n<p>Axios reported that \u201cnot all of Venezuela\u2019s 300 billion barrels of proven reserves\u201d will be involved in the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, it appears American ownership stake will involve over a dozen \u201cproductive\u201d oil
