A deal has been made to give the US control of a significant portion of Venezuela's oil reserves. The agreement, made by acting President Delcy Rodríguez, involves roughly one-fifth of the country's oil reserves, which are the largest in the world. This development has affected Venezuelans' sense of national pride, as their identity has long been tied to the belief that the country's oil resources belong to the people.

The deal could potentially generate billions of dollars for Venezuela's oil industry and economy, which have been damaged by years of mismanagement. However, many Venezuelans view the agreement as a surrender of their country's resources. Further details about the deal and its implications are available from the source.
