U.S. President Donald Trump says Venezuela will transfer up to  50 million barrels of oil to the United States following a dramatic power shift in Caracas. Trump claims the oil will be sold at market prices, with proceeds used to benefit both Americans and Venezuelans. U.S. officials say the move follows years of sanctions over disputed elections and foreign alliances involving China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.

As America steps into its milestone 250th year, the celebrations begin with a moment destined for the history books. President Trump unveiled a stunning illumination of the Washington Monument, turning the iconic landmark into a towering symbolic “birthday candle” that marks the opening chapter of the nationwide America 250 program. The six-day projection show transforms the Monument into a luminous canvas, bringing to life America’s story, discovery, independence, struggle, triumph and the vision for its future. WATCH
