WYZAD:
Trump is not someone to make such comment without tweeting it on his Truth social network.
Such statement is just a propaganda from d haters of d USA.
Trump never made such comment.
He said it at the press briefing. Trump does not pretend, that's one thing about him. He tells straight on what the gain is going to be.

If it were other president before him, they would have been more politically correct. Obama would have come been very political about it, it would have been more about how they save democracy, the savior appearance, remove a dictator, drug criminal and so on. He wouldn't tell you the main gain.

Trump would be real with you and I think that's why many sane people like him.

Trump came to power and we started hearing , fake news, the fake news. Nobody dare call those big channel fake news before. People eyes start opening and they start questioning what they hear as news.

Why is Trump obsessed with Venezuela's oil. Not a single word about drugs again?
How callously deceptive can one be to act this way?
huh
It's because the Americans was the one that set them up for the oil boom. The problem started when Chavez came to power and start removing American oil companies and promoting his socialist and dictatorship regime. Maduro was a bus driver, he is a thug and Chavez loyalist. That was how he was able to take over from Chavez.

What's wrong with being a bus driver?

By the way:


In 2025 and early 2026, the situation regarding Nicolás Maduro and U.S. oil companies is characterized more by a complete breakdown of diplomatic "concessions" and the reimposition of a U.S. "blockade" rather than Maduro reneging on private contracts with the companies themselves.
Key developments as of January 2026 include:
U.S. Revocation of Licenses: In February 2025, President Trump revoked the oil licenses and concessions granted by the previous administration, citing Maduro's failure to meet electoral conditions and slow pace in accepting deportees.

Forced Exits: While Chevron was the last major U.S. producer active in Venezuela, the U.S. government ordered it and other foreign firms (such as Repsol and Eni) to wind down operations by May 2025.

U.S. "Blockade": In late 2025, the U.S. announced a "total and complete blockade" of all sanctioned oil tankers entering or leaving Venezuelan ports.
Maduro's Current Stance (January 2026): As of January 2, 2026, Maduro has softened his rhetoric, stating that Venezuela is "ready" to accept new U.S. investments "when, where, and how they want" in a bid to restore the oil-based economy.
Historical Context: Experts note that while the Maduro administration historically "reneged" on deals through mismanagement and the extraction of resources from the state oil company (PDVSA), the current 2025–2026 crisis is primarily driven by U.S. policy shifts and sanctions pressure rather than new contract violations by Maduro.

Leave what you went to copy out of these. The issues is not a 2025 or 2026 stuff. It's a thing since over two decades now. Since Obama. Trump lay a 10 million bounty on Maduro, when Biden came in he increased it to 25 million. It's the same reasons you're hearing in the news today that both Biden and Trump was after Venezuela

And by the way, Nothing is wrong being a bus driver.

A bus driver, who is a thug becoming the president of a country raise a lot of questions.
You know how their currency is so so worthless.

America has no justification or right to encroach on Venezuela's sovereignty.

This has been the imperialists playbook for eons.

They claimed Africans were barbarians and were coming to enlighten them.

What happened?

They took them as slaves and plundered their resources.

It never changes until we elevate our minds.

Baba wan use this to pay part of US’s $38 trillion Dollar debt.

China has just withdrawn $8 trillion Dollars from the western economy.

He will destabilize Latin America that hasn’t seen this kind of war for years.
