Trump: $100 Billion Private Investment to Rebuild Venezuela — No Taxpayer Money

President Donald Trump hosted leading U.S. oil executives at the White House and announced plans for at least $100 billion in private investment to rebuild Venezuela’s deteriorated energy infrastructure. Trump said American companies would operate under total U.S. security and protection, ensuring investments are safe and profitable, while oil revenues are shared between the United States, Venezuela, and participating companies. He emphasized that no taxpayer money would be used — only private capital backed by government security guarantees.
