> US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said an oil agreement with the United States could help Venezuela attract about $100 billion in private investment and support the reconstruction of its economy. He said the deal would also secure stable, low-cost oil reserves for the US and help lower gas prices. Trump had earlier announced majority US control of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s proven reserves.
