Trump puts the Pentagon in Venezuela's oil. And the partner will be a businessman investigated for money laundering and tax fraud

CNN Portugal1 September 2026 at 18:57

Trump's government could get up to 35% of a company that will exploit Venezuelan oil, obtaining privileged access to production. The agreement was conducted by a Pentagon office that had originally been created with the objective of strengthening the United States' Defense industry.

The partnership involves Alejandro Betancourt López, a Venezuelan businessman who is being investigated in Spain and Switzerland for money laundering and tax fraud. The White House guarantees that the agreement was closed "at no cost to the United States."

Almost everyone does this when using the oven, but it's increasing the electricity bill without realizing

Experts warn that repeatedly opening the oven door to check food can significantly increase energy consumption and, consequently, the electricity bill. Each time the door is opened, up to 20% of the accumulated heat inside the appliance can be lost, forcing it to work harder to recover the set temperature. Experts recommend using the interior light and observing food through the glass whenever possible, avoiding opening the door unnecessarily. The article also mentions other habits that contribute to higher energy expenditure, such as leaving the oven preheating for too long, opening the refrigerator frequently, or placing hot food inside, and suggests that small behavioral changes can help reduce electricity consumption at home.
