U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright informed oil executives that Venezuela's oil output could increase by 30% from its current level of 900,000 barrels per day in the short- to medium-term. This increase is a priority for U.S. President Donald Trump following the recent seizure of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. The meeting occurred during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
