Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has been sworn is as president of the country, President Donald Trump said today.

“She’s, I guess, the president,” Trump said. “She had a long conversation with Marco and said we’ll do what you need. She had no choice.”

”Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken with Rodriguez, and she has agreed to work with the U.S., he added.

President Donald Trump says the removal of Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro from power will open the door to the country’s vast oil reserves, a move that has the potential to reshape the global energy market.

“We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country,” Trump said during a press conference in Mar-a-Lago.

“They were pumping almost nothing by comparison to what they could have been,” he said.

Venezuela’s vast oil reserves are the largest in the world, likely the equivalent of about 300 billion barrels, according to the Energy Institute, a research firm. Those reserves top even the No. 1 OPEC oil-producing country, Saudi Arabia.
