Jorge Rodríguez, president of Venezuela’s National Assembly and a government representative in negotiations, said the country has full control over the funds received from oil sales abroad. He also noted that Venezuela is now engaged in important cooperation with the United States. Rodríguez called the energy agreement unprecedented and, in his view, the largest oil deal in the past 100 years. He said it should benefit the people and governments of both countries, as well as Venezuela’s economy and the U.S. market.
