President Donald J. Trump said Venezuelan oil revenues will reach “hundreds of billions very soon,” and that the United States had recouped the cost of its operation in the country “many, many times over.”

Those remarks were reported in a Thursday morning world-news briefing. On Truth Social on Tuesday, the president also pointed to “Victories in Venezuela and Iran” in a post about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The figures and the description of a victory are the president’s claims.
