Die Trump-Regierung verlangt von Venezuela, die Beziehungen zu US-Gegnern abzubrechen, um die Ölproduktion wieder aufzunehmen

The Trump administration has outlined a number of demands that [Venezuela](https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/trump-venezuela-oil-greenland-07-01-26) must agree to in order to resume oil production, two senior White House officials told CNN.

During conversations led by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Trump administration told Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez that the country must cut ties with China, Iran, Russia and Cuba, and agree to partner exclusively with the US on oil production, the officials said.

Rodriguez must also agree to favor the Trump administration and US oil companies for future oil sales, they said.

ABC News first reported [on the demands](https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-demands-venezuela-kick-china-russia-partner-us/story?id=128963238) made to Rodriguez. It comes after the administration captured the country’s now-ousted President Nicolás [Maduro](https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/venezuela-maduro-court-trump-01-05-26?post-id=cmk1dc8om00053b6qr1cgm930) over the weekend.

Sources familiar with the discussions said Trump officials believe Venezuela can only economically survive for another few weeks without relying on the sale of its oil reserves.
