The quid pro quo takeover for oil.

Screenshot of a post by James Talarico on X criticizing Donald Trump over oil policy and Venezuela. The post claims Trump promised American oil executives favorable treatment in exchange for campaign donations and argues that U.S. actions in Venezuela are illegal, reckless, and corrupt. Below the post is a screenshot from The New York Times showing an article excerpt about U.S. plans for Venezuela’s oil industry. A highlighted sentence quotes Trump saying oil development “is going to make a lot of money,” emphasizing financial motivations tied to Venezuela’s large oil reserves.
