Watch: Why is the US
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the US has struck a deal with Venezuela to control more than 65 billion barrels of its proven oil reserves. The US president wrote that the agreement would more than double American oil reserves and "substantially lower gas prices for all Americans".
The BBC's Tom Bateman explains what the deal means and why critics are raising concerns.
