The United States has returned the entire $500 million from an initial oil sale to the Venezuelan government as part of an agreement between Caracas and Washington. A U.S. official, speaking anonymously on Tuesday, confirmed that the final $200 million had already been transferred to Venezuela. The funds were returned under a deal reached last month following the January 3 U.S. military operation in which Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was detained.
According to the U.S. official, the arrangement was designed to allow Venezuela to generate revenue from its own oil to pay salaries for teachers, firefighters, and police officers, and to maintain government operations. The money had been temporarily held in Qatar as a short-term measure to ensure that Venezuela could access the funds necessary for running its administration.
The official emphasized that the return of the funds was intended to prevent institutional collapse in Venezuela while maintaining essential public services.
