Trump Team Brokers Gold Deal With Venezuela: Up To 1,000 Kg Headed To U.S. Markets
As things continue to pop off in the Middle East, the United States is still focused on Venezuela - and has brokered a multimillion-dollar gold deal.
The agreement, first reported by Axios, involves the sale of between 650 and 1,000 kilograms of gold doré bars - which are semi-refined with approximately 98% gold content - from Venezuela's state-owned mining company, Minerven, to the global commodities trader Trafigura. The gold is destined for refineries in the United States, marking a shift in Venezuela's resource exports toward American markets.
The deal, valued at roughly $163,000 per kilogram based on current gold prices amid global economic uncertainty, marks the third extraction contract overseen by the Trump administration since U.S. forces captured Maduro on January 3. It's part of a broader effort to stabilize and reconstruct Venezuela's economy under U.S. influence, with the White House assert...

Venezuela, Silver And Greenland: How The U.S.-China Power Split Is Reshaping the World
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
America's intervention in Venezuela is just days old, and the world seems unable to settle. The heated debate over Greenland's future overshadows the main thread of a new world order emerging—one that is being decided between the U.S. and China. Europe, for now, is relegated to the role of a progressively anxious bystander.
In recent weeks, much speculation has surrounded the background and consequences of the U.S. intervention in Venezuela on January 3. On the surface, political commentators and mainstream media focus largely on Venezuelan heavy oil's role and future. And they are right: if the U.S. manages to revive the mostly idle capacities via its domestic production industry—especially through firms like Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon—a significant geopolitical lever emerges.
This lever primarily reshapes the negotiation matrix and dynamics between Washington and ...

Oil, Dollars, Gold, & Venezuela In A Nutshell
Authored by Matthew Piepenburg via VonGreyerz.gold,
Putting any kind of bow on the current headlines to conveniently explain or “wrap up” recent events in Venezuela would be a fool's errand. The extraordinary mix, as well as polarized views, as to the personalities, policies, economics, military acumen, and even international legality of the entire saga makes consensus impossible.
Political Optics?
The operation itself, of course, has all the Hollywood features of a daring and successful military drama, which can create tailwind optics for a President.
The opposite, of course, happened for Jimmy Carter, when his April 1980 Iranian hostage rescue mission stalled tragically in the desert, along with any hope of his re-election shortly thereafter.
Political “optics,” however, are often as short and capricious as politics itself. We all remember, for example, President Bush's famous “mission accomplished” moment on the deck of the USS Abr...
