Venezuela will buy only US products with oil proceeds, Trump says

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Caracas would only buy US-made products with the profits from what Washington says is a deal to sell oil from Venezuela following the toppling of its president, Nicolas Maduro.

“I have just been informed that Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.

They would include agricultural products, machinery, medical devices, and energy equipment, he added.
