Trump says U.S. forces arrested Maduro and a 65-billion-barrel oil deal will ease global prices

In the speech, President Trump described a U.S. operation he said penetrated the Venezuelan capital and arrested Nicolás Maduro, saying "hundreds of Venezuelan political prisoners have been freed." He followed that account with an assertion of a major oil agreement—"the largest oil deal in history, covering 65 billion barrels of oil"—that he said would lower global energy prices.

Those are the President's assertions in the address; the transcript contains the claims but no supporting documentation or outside confirmation of the operations or the oil-deal terms within the recorded remarks.
