… #Trump claimed that he had already begun to make money for the #UnitedStates by taking #oil that has been under sanctions. He referred to his Tuesday night announcement that the #US would obtain 30 to 50 million barrels of heavy #Venezuela crude oil.
But he offered no time period for that process, and he acknowledged it would take years to revive the country’s neglected oil sector.
“The oil will take a while,” he said.

@Nonilex The orange One has no idea. It doesn't make any sense to interview this wreck of a person at all. The earlier he stops shitting his pampers, the better.
While #Republican lawmakers have been largely “supportive” [whipped] of the admin’s actions, #Democrats on Wednesday reiterated their warnings that the #UnitedStates was headed toward a protracted international intervention without clear #legal authority.

@Nonilex how can these politicians be called lawmakers when they DO NO FUCKING SUCH THING?
During the wide-ranging interview, #Trump did not give a precise time range for how long the #UnitedStates would remain #Venezuela’s #overlord. 4 months? 6 months? A year? Longer?
“I would say much longer,” Trump replied.
…Trump did not answer questions about why he recognized #Maduro’s VP #DelcyRodríguez as Venezuela’s new leader instead of #MaríaCorinaMachado, the opposition leader whose party led a successful election campaign against Maduro in 2024 & recently won the Nobel Peace Prize.
@Nonilex real answer "forever and ever amen"

@Nonilex He used our military to get Ivanka's kids their billions
#Trump appeared far more focused on the #past capture mission than the details of how to navigate #Venezuela’s #future. He declined to say what might prompt him to put #US forces on the ground in the country.
“I wouldn’t want to tell you that,” he said.

@Nonilex fucking finger smeller. This is how pedophiles turn a phrase. This kind of wording makes survivors SCREAM inside.
Would he insert #US troops if the Venezuelan government blocked him from access to the country’s #oil? Would he send them in if #Venezuela refused to kick out Russian & Chinese personnel, as his admin has demanded?
“I can’t tell you that,” said #Trump. “I really wouldn’t want to tell you that, but they’re treating us with great respect. As you know, we’re getting along very well with the administration that is there right now.”

@Nonilex the answer is yes
#Trump sidestepped a question about why he declined to install the man the #US declared the winner of the 2024 #Venezuela presidential election, #EdmundoGonzález. González was essentially a proxy candidate for the lead opposition leader, Ms. Machado.
He reiterated that #Maduro’s allies are cooperating with the US, despite their hostile public statements.
“They’re giving us everything that we feel is necessary,” he said. “Don’t forget, they took the #oil from us years ago.” [“took” is inaccurate]
@Nonilex like trump had any idea what was being discussed. There is no plan at all. Just destruction of everything.
