Trump Declares National Emergency To Protect Venezuelan Oil Funds Held By U.S. Treasury

The order prohibits any court-ordered seizure, attachment, or transfer of designated Venezuelan government funds derived from oil sales or related transactions, placing them under custodial control of the United States pending future sovereign disposition.

According to the Executive Order, allowing private creditors or judicial actions to access those funds would “materially harm the national security and foreign policy of the United States” by undermining efforts to stabilize Venezuela and counter threats linked to illegal immigration, narcotics trafficking, and hostile foreign actors.

The order defines the protected assets as “Foreign Government Deposit Funds,” including oil proceeds tied to the Venezuelan government, its central bank, and state-owned energy company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. The funds are to be held by the U.S. government strictly in a custodial capacity and may not be used for commercial activity or private claims.

So, is God Trump keeping all that money for himself?
