President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are set to accept an oil tanker carrying Venezuelan crude to Texas, an event organized to tout the administration’s efforts to revitalize the South American country’s oil industry, increase supply to the United States, and bring down prices.
Trump confirmed the visit to reporters on Tuesday ahead of his trip to the Lone Star State, where he will campaign for Republicans on the ballot in the November midterm elections, and said the tanker is carrying 1 million barrels of Venezuelan oil.
