Overview
- President Trump said the United States has received more than 80 million barrels of oil from Venezuela and that U.S. oil output is up by over 600,000 barrels per day.
- EIA figures show U.S. crude production hovering near record levels, rising from roughly 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023 to around 13.2 million in 2024, with late‑2025 months between 13.2 and 13.8 million.
- Analysts and EIA data indicate the cited 600,000‑barrel increase aligns with some year‑over‑year comparisons, though the exact gain varies with the baseline month.
- The Venezuelan tally refers to cumulative crude imports under revised U.S. policy rather than additional domestic production.
- EIA data supports the claim that U.S. natural gas output is at an all‑time high, while AAA data challenges a separate assertion that most states have gasoline below $2.30 per gallon.
