In his speech, Trump also announced the conclusion of a "historic deal on gold." He noted that Venezuela has significant gold reserves and fertile land; however, the previous system did not allow the country to take advantage of these resources.
“We have reached an agreement on a deal that will allow both countries to work on the sale of Venezuelan gold and other minerals,” added the U.S. president.
It is worth noting that on the night of January 3, U.S. military forces carried out an operation against Venezuela, during which President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were detained. They were taken to New York, where they faced serious charges, including drug terrorism.
