Venezuela

Trump has presented the US-Venezuela oil deal as a way to bring more Venezuelan oil into production and eventually help reduce energy prices in the United States.

Caracas residents fled collapsing structures as dust covered the city, while families gathered outside damaged buildings in Altamira and emergency crews continued rescue operations after Venezuela declared a state of emergency across affected areas overnight.

Reliance obtaining a general licence would mean accelerated Venezuelan oil exports and cut crude costs for the operator of the world's biggest refining complex, Reuters reported, adding that Reliance applied for the licence in January this year.

The governments of Greenland and Denmark have both strongly refuted Donald Trump's assertions over Greenland.

Trump has long been endorsing himself for the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that he ended many wars in the world.

Chevron, the only major US oil company still operating in Venezuela under a special US licence, also struck a careful tone.
