Venezuela will ship sanctioned oil to the U.S. indefinitely, sources close to the White House told CNBC on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Venezuela will turn over 30 million to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil, which will be sold at market prices.

“That money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States,” Trump said in a social media post.
