U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Venezuela will buy only American-made products with revenue from a new oil deal, positioning the United States as Venezuela’s primary trading partner and boosting U.S. exports, Trump said on social media and in public statements this week.
According to Trump, Venezuela will use funds generated from a recently agreed oil arrangement to purchase U.S. goods, including American agricultural products, U.S.-made medicines, medical devices, and energy infrastructure equipment. The president described the commitment as a “wise choice” that benefits both American industries and the Venezuelan people.
“Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products with the money they receive from our new oil deal… Venezuela is committing to doing business with the United States of America as their principal partner,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The move could significantly increase U.S. exports and trade with Venezuela, particularly in farming, healthcare, and industrial sectors. It also aligns with Trump’s broader economic policy of promoting Made in USA goods and strengthening bilateral trade.
The announcement comes amid ongoing negotiations over Venezuelan oil sales, which the U.S. now controls under the latest arrangement. Under the terms Trump outlined, up to tens of millions of barrels of Venezuelan crude will be sold, and proceeds must be spent on U.S.-manufactured products and services.
Analysts say the policy may result in a new trade dynamic between the U.S. and Venezuela, with increased demand for U.S. agricultural exports, medical goods, and energy sector equipment, while also signaling potential geopolitical shifts in Western Hemisphere commerce
