The oil relationship between Venezuela and the United States returned to the center of debate after Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that since January more than 10 million barrels of Venezuelan crude have been sent to U.S. territory. The announcement was made this Wednesday, May 27, from the White House, in the company of President Donald Trump, who in recent days has also defended the energy agreement and assured that the profits derived from Venezuelan oil have represented an enormous economic benefit for Washington.
