Here are the unanswered questions about Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela

WASHINGTON (AP) – Besides a social media post from President Donald Trump, the White House has remarked little concerning what he is calling "THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY" in Venezuela.

What happened

Trump remarked the agreement unveiled Friday night would offer the United States a stake in Venezuela's vast oil reserves, a step toward his goal of extracting energy from the country after American forces captured then-President Nicolás Maduro in a middle-of-the-night raid in January and brought him to New York to face federal drug trafficking charges.

Venezuela's acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, described the accord as a step toward economic recovery that will modernize the country's oil industry.

But the answers to plenty of questions, including how shortly the reserves could be drilled and who will pay to create it happen, were not immediately clear. No text of any agreement has been published. A look at what is known and unknown.

The bottom line

Taken together, the developments around here are the unanswered questions about Trumps oil deal with Venezuela point to a situation that is still moving, and the coming days should bring more clarity.
