Venezuela’s interim President Delcy Rodríguez and U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright speak with the media after attending a meeting, marking the highest-level U.S. visit focused on energy policy to the OPEC nation in nearly three decades, as Washington conducts its first on-the-ground assessment of the oil industry it aims to help rebuild, in Caracas, Venezuela, Feb. 11, 2026.

THE U.S. TREASURY HAS SEIZED DIRECT CONTROL of Venezuela’s billion-dollar oil fortune in a SHOCKING financial power grab, moving the nation’s entire energy revenue stream from a secretive Qatar account straight into Washington’s coffers. This is not aid—this is a COLONIAL TAKEOVER disguised as policy.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright CONFIRMED THE HEIST this week, boasting that over $1 BILLION in Venezuelan oil money now flows directly to the U.S. Treasury, with plans to sell another $5 billion in crude. This radical move follows the military capture of former President Nicolás Maduro and the installation of a U.S.-friendly interim president. Critics are screaming that the Trump administration has effectively turned Venezuela into an American oil colony, with Democrats in Congress demanding an emergency audit, warning the scheme is “RIPE FOR CORRUPTION.”
But the plot thickens with a DANGEROUS LEGAL PARADOX. The U.S. does NOT officially recognize the very government it’s propping up in Caracas. Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted they had to find a “creative way legally” to bypass this inconvenient fact, while international law experts reveal this oil money, by the U.S.’s own prior recognition, should belong to Venezuela’s opposition—a group with NO CURRENT POWER. This isn’t creative finance; it’s a SHADOW GOVERNMENT in action, setting a terrifying precedent for regime change where America first takes the money and figures out the legitimacy later.
The global order you knew is DEAD, replaced by a new era where superpowers simply confiscate the wealth of nations they deem unfit.
