Transcript records claim U.S. government is marketing Venezuelan crude and will control its distribution
Unidentified Speaker 3 said, "The United States government has already begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil in the global marketplace for the benefit of The United States." Unidentified Speaker 1 added, "We will control how it is dispersed in a way that benefits the Venezuelan people, not corruption, not the regime." Speaker 3 also said, "This will benefit both the American people and the Venezuelan people."

The transcript records these statements as assertions about U.S. government policy or action. The excerpt does not specify which U.S. agency or program is involved, the scope or timing of the marketing, legal authorities invoked, or how proceeds or distribution would be managed. No statutes, executive orders, or agency names are cited in the provided text.

Because the transcript provides claims about government activity without sourcing or detail, the statements are recorded here as claims in the transcript rather than as independently confirmed facts. Additional reporting or official statements from responsible agencies would be required to confirm mechanisms, timing, and legal authority.
