00:00The White House has announced that Venezuela's interim government decisions will be dictated by the United States
00:06and that it plans to control all sales of the country's petroleum following the capture of Nicolás Maduro.
00:13It comes after U.S. forces seized two Venezuela-linked oil tankers on Wednesday in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean.
00:21U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said controlling Venezuela's oil would allow Washington to pressure the country.
00:28The way that we control Venezuela is we control the purse strings, we control the energy resources,
00:33and we tell the regime, you're allowed to sell the oil so long as you serve America's national interest.
00:38You're not allowed to sell it if you can't serve America's national interest.
00:41And that's how we exert incredible pressure on that country without wasting a single American life,
00:47without endangering a single American citizen.
00:49Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodriguez, who was officially sworn in this week,
00:54said Venezuela would pursue economic relationships across multiple continents,
00:59characterizing U.S. engagement as standard diplomatic practice.
01:02The 71% of the Venezuelan exportations are concentrated in 8 countries.
01:10And of that 71%, the 27% of the destination is the United States and North America.
01:16The economic relations of Venezuela are diversified in different markets in the world,
01:24as we are diversified in our geopolitical relations.
01:28The U.S. Energy Department said Washington would oversee all Venezuelan oil shipments worldwide,
01:41permitting exports only through approved channels.
01:44Sales of 30 million to 50 million barrels will begin immediately,
01:48with proceeds held in U.S.-controlled accounts at international banks.
