US Energy Secretary guarantees that US does not want to "steal" Venezuelan oil

SIC Notícias3 September 2026 at 07:09

The US Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, stated that the United States does not intend to "steal" Venezuela's oil, responding to concerns about a potential energy agreement between the two countries.

Wright defended an agreement in which Venezuela would start enjoying an asset that, according to him, is "unused, that yields nothing to the Venezuelan people," suggesting that greater utilization of oil resources would benefit the Venezuelan population.

During the occasion, the Secretary announced contracts for energy and hydrocarbons, reinforcing American interest in establishing partnerships in the Venezuelan energy sector.

The US official also highlighted the need to stabilize the country before elections, indicating that Venezuela's economic and political recovery is considered an important step for any future cooperation.

Maria Helena Monteiro, 27 years old, grew up torn between the desire to leave and her love for her homeland, choosing to reinvent herself locally through fashion design, photography, and social media management, believing that one does not need to leave to be successful. Francisco Fernandes emigrated to Dubai in 2018 as a cabin crew member for Emirates, accumulating experience and financial stability, but always keeping the dream of returning to Portugal.

Maduro asks for case dismissal in US invoking sovereign immunity

The charges include conspiracy to commit acts of narco-terrorism, cocaine importation, and possession of automatic weapons. Maduro's defense argues that, as the sitting president of a state recognized by the US, he is protected by the sovereign immunity doctrine, which prevents foreign leaders from being tried in American courts for acts performed in the exercise of their official duties.
