LIVE: Chris Wright And Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez Announce Major U.S.-Venezuela Oil Deal

Published | Video Starts at 56:56

In just the eight months we've been in close partnership, Venezuelan production has grown by 25% and Venezuelan oil exports have grown by 50%. And of course, the amount of oil imported, the United States has grown massively more than that from Venezuela. So we're already starting to see some benefits from that. (56:56–57:03)

CLAIM
