Venezuela's interim government buys used US oil equipment to boost crude output

Venezuela's interim government under Delcy Rodríguez purchased a used tractor truck at a US auction for $24,000, part of a broader effort to acquire secondhand oil equipment to increase crude production. The purchase signals a pragmatic approach to bypass sanctions and supply chain constraints, though the scale of impact on output remains uncertain. This reflects ongoing efforts to revive Venezuela's oil sector amid political and economic isolation.
