Trump Cancels ‘Second Wave Of Attacks’ As Venezuela Frees Political Prisoners Trump is set to meet with American oil companies on Friday.

President Trump just announced that he's canceling the previously expected second wave of attacks on Venezuela. He says it's because they're showing real cooperation, especially with the release of large numbers of political prisoners.

Venezuela is "releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of 'Seeking Peace.'" This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure. "Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes."

Trump posted this early Friday morning on Truth Social, and it's huge. The prisoners to be released reportedly include key opposition figures like Biagio Pilieri, who worked on María Corina Machado's presidential campaign, and Enrique Márquez, the 2024 presidential candidate. Activists and journalists are also among those freed.

"Consider this a gesture by the Bolivarian [Venezuelan] government, which is broadly intended to seek peace," said Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly.

Trump also made it clear that American energy companies are ready to step up in a big way. He expects at least $100 billion in investments to help rebuild Venezuela's oil industry, and executives from major U.S. oil firms are heading to the White House today for a meeting. A White House official confirmed the session is set for 2:30 local time, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum all in attendance.

"Following the announcement of President Trump's historic energy deal with Venezuela, American oil companies will come to the White House to discuss investment opportunities that will restore Venezuelan oil infrastructure," said White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers. "The American people, energy companies, and the Venezuelan people will all greatly benefit from these new, unprecedented investments in Venezuela’s oil infrastructure thanks to President Trump."

More than a dozen companies are expected, including reps from Chevron, Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Valero, Marathon, and Shell. Trump has said these American companies could get reimbursed by the government for their investments or earn big revenue straight from the oil production.

This is tremendous progress after the recent operation that captured Maduro. We're seeing cooperation, prisoner releases, and massive opportunities for American energy dominance. America First is delivering results!
