U.S. President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Venezuela has committed to buying exclusively American-made products with revenues from a newly created oil agreement with the United States.

The arrangement, detailed by Trump on his social media platform Truth Social, represents a significant step in bilateral economic links following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, who is now facing federal drug trafficking charges in New York City.
