NYT: US received $12.26 billion from Venezuelan oil sales in the first nine months of 2026
The New York Times, citing a confidential KPMG report, says that $12.26 billion from the sale of Venezuelan oil and other resources passed through an account controlled by Washington in the first nine months of 2026. Most of the funds returned to Venezuela: about $11.7 billion was directed toward supporting the bolívar, and roughly $130 million went to the government's external payments. The report is not the official audit that the State Department had promised to release.
