50 million barrels of oil — Donald Trump wants to ‘save’ Venezuela from the burden of wealth and let the U.S. figure out the rest

President Donald Trump announced that he’s in the final stage of his military operation in Venezuela. The president has made no mystery about his intentions of a post Nicolas Maduro Venezuela — the predictable announcement revealed that his initial prognosis has found that his administration could sell 30 to 50 million barrels of oil from the nation.

The announcement came in Jan. 6, at the 5th anniversary of the insurrection at the Capitol. Trump, in part, wrote on Truth Social, “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!”
