Between 30 & 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil

I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States! I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.

.@SecretaryBurgum on utilizing oil from Venezuela: "You need to dilute that heavy crude with a lighter product, and of course, we have an excess of that lighter product here because of the shale oils... it's great news for jobs, it's great news for gas prices going forward." pic.twitter.com/f6widHDjwO
