US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Venezuela has been 'stabilized' and added that the oil from the South American country is on its way to Houston. 'Venezuela is doing great, it has been stabilized,' he said during an event honoring the soccer team Inter Miami at the White House. During his speech, the president again praised Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez, whom he called a 'wonderful person' and insisted that they maintain a good relationship. Regarding Venezuelan oil, the Republican emphasized that 'billions of barrels of oil' have left Venezuela and are on their way to Houston and 'other places where they can be refined.' Trump stated that they will send back to Venezuela 'more money than they have made in many years.' Trump's statements come after his Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, visited President Rodriguez in Caracas this week to ratify relations between the two countries.
