What is the 'largest oil agreement in history' announced by the US and Venezuela — and why it is so controversial

The agreement announced by US President Donald Trump and Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodríguez grants the United States access to Venezuelan oil fields with estimated reserves of 65 billion barrels, being considered the largest oil agreement in history. The agreement is controversial due to existing international sanctions against Venezuela, national sovereignty issues over natural resources, and criticism that the Maduro government would be yielding control of its strategic assets to foreigners in exchange for sanctions relief. The agreement also raises debates about the real benefits for the Venezuelan population and concerns that it may weaken the country's position in future international negotiations.
