Trump Pitches Venezuela Oil 'Opportunity' He Sabotaged for Years
Donald Trump claims US oil firms could be 'up and running' in Venezuela within 18 months, according to the BBC. This 'analysis' from Trump offers a short memory for anyone paying attention. It was his administration that escalated sanctions against Venezuela's oil sector in 2019—sanctions designed to cripple the industry and create regime change. We are now being asked to believe that the very
'opportunity' created by years of U.S.-led economic warfare can be 'fixed' in 18 months by the same political architects. The BBC reports this without historical context, allowing Trump to conveniently frame a crisis he helped create as a future business venture. How many 'opportunities' for US corporations does a nation have to suffer before the media connects the dots?
