Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodríguez says a new energy agreement with the United States is set to last 25 years. Multiple outlets report she makes the claim in remarks to Venezuelan media, presenting the accord as a long-term framework for developing the country’s oil sector.
Rodríguez says Venezuela will retain ownership of and sovereignty over its natural resources, and outlets also describe her portraying the deal as “historic” and beneficial for the economy. Several reports add that the agreement targets raising crude output to about 1.5 million barrels per day and involves developing multiple oilfields, with the production figure described as tied to the bilateral project. Some coverage frames the accord as expected to boost government revenue and support economic recovery, reflecting Rodríguez’s stated rationale.
Across the sources, the core points align: the 25-year duration, the sovereignty emphasis, and the stated production and development targets. Differences mainly appear in the level of operational detail provided, with some outlets repeating Rodríguez’s figures and others focusing more broadly on the deal’s stated implications for Venezuela’s economy and resource control.
