Let's start with the basics.

President Trump put out a post on social media earlier this week talking about...

keeping oil.

What is he talking about and where is this oil coming from?

Can you just, like, help me understand?

Because...

Millions of barrels of oil sounds like a lot of oil.

How much oil is this?

And Franco, do you have a sense of

what President Trump is hoping to accomplish with this oil.

What is his goal with bringing this oil to the U.S.?

What does he want to do with it?

Can you just explain the stolen oil thing, like the history there?

Like, this won't cost us because we've got the oil.

Camila, do you have any sense of how this might impact the oil markets?

And Franco, do you have any sense of what would happen with the money that would come from selling this oil?

And I want to get to something, Franco, that you alluded to earlier, which is President Trump has long been fixated on oil, specifically in the Middle East.

And that last clip was Trump talking about Iran.

But those clips are from 2016, 2021 and 2025.

And the first record I found actually goes back even further to 2011.
