Fox Host Rachel Campos-Duffy Questions President Trump's Venezuela Oil Deal
Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, wife of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, publicly criticized President Trump's recent oil deal with Venezuela. President Trump announced on Friday that he had secured an agreement with Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez, granting the U.S. majority control over Venezuela's 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves. This deal has drawn scrutiny because Rodríguez was installed as interim president by President Trump after U.S. Special Forces reportedly abducted Nicolás Maduro. Campos-Duffy expressed her concern on 'Fox & Friends Weekend' that the deal was made without elections in Venezuela, questioning the primary purpose of removing Maduro if it wasn't to allow the Venezuelan people to choose their leader. She highlighted that Venezuelans reportedly do not trust Rodríguez and that President Trump's motivations would be questioned across Latin America until elections occur. No official text or details of the agreement have been released.
