Marco Rubio: "will be deposited into an account that we will have oversight over"

After President Nicolás Maduro was ousted and an interim government installed with U.S. support, roughly half of Venezuela’s oil exports now go to American refineries. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress that revenue from those sales would be placed in a U.S.-supervised account, with Venezuela submitting monthly funding requests and Washington specifying in advance what the money could not buy. The Financial Times has reported that more than $13 billion has been collected this year, a figure President Trump said was too low. The administration has said little about how the funds are being used, and the Council on Foreign Relations says no detailed public accounting of sales, revenue, or spending has been released, raising concerns about transparency.
