[^1]\n\nDeputy Miguel Ángel Pérez Abad presented the agreement and stated it is the most important deal signed in Venezuela in the last 100 years due to its potential to transform the oil production model. [^2]\n\nUS President Donald Trump described the agreement as the most historically significant energy deal, claiming it secures majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela without cost to US taxpayers. [^3]\n\nIris Varela cited Article 339 of the Venezuelan Constitution to support her assertion that the agreement can be revoked once the causes that motivated it cease. [^4]\n\nIris Varela claimed that President Nicolás Maduro could object to decisions adopted under alleged coercion, which she argued would invalidate the consent according to the law. [^5]\n\nThe energy pact announced by Delcy Rodríguez and the government of Donald Trump includes the development of 17 strategic fields with a potential of 65,000 million barrels. [^6]",
