“Venezuela received $300 million Tuesday as part of revenues from oil sales to the United States, interim President Delcy Rodriguez said on social media. The funds represent the first tranche of a $500 million oil deal announced by President Donald Trump after the United States captured President Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 3. Rodriguez said the resources will be channeled through the national banking system and the Central Bank of Venezuela to ‘protect workers’ purchasing power’ and stabilize the foreign exchange market amid inflationary pressures.” (01/21/26)
