After the United States took control of Venezuela's oil trade, it has collected approximately 13 billion dollars from the country's oil exports. However, very little information is being provided about where these funds are being spent.
Washington initially stated that it would keep the funds in trust for Venezuela's interests. However, since then, US officials have given varying statements regarding the fate of the funds.
US President Donald Trump said that America is "making a lot of money" from Venezuelan oil, while the US State Department claims that billions of dollars in funds have been returned to Venezuela under strict control.
According to public data, only 300 million dollars have been officially accounted for so far.
Economists note that Venezuela's economy is recovering more slowly than expected, suggesting that a large portion of oil revenues may not have reached the country.
At present, no precise or complete information has been disclosed regarding the fate of the 13 billion dollars in oil revenues collected by the United States.
