> As the war with Iran continues to drive up oil and gas prices, President Donald Trump announced an oil deal with Venezuela that would give the U.S. access to roughly 65 billion barrels of the country’s reserves. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez called it an opportunity for economic growth, but NBC News explains why it is unlikely to lower U.S. prices soon. In Nepal, more than 900 people have been confirmed dead and the search for survivors is becoming increasingly frantic.
