Venezuela continues its transition after the Maduro era, with the United States pulling the strings. Following the military operation that detained the former Venezuelan president, Donald Trump has laid his hands on the country's great treasure, oil. The United States plans to authorize the import of equipment, parts, and services for oil fields to increase Venezuela's oil production, which has been around 1 million barrels per day.
And it seems that the United States' role in Venezuela will extend over time. US President Donald Trump said, "only time will tell" how long the United States will oversee Venezuela, in an interview published by The New York Times. When asked by the Times if it would be three months, six months, a year, or more, Trump responded, "I would say much longer." "We are going to rebuild it in a very profitable way," Trump said referring to Venezuela. Trump added that the United States is "getting along very well" with the interim president Delcy Rodríguez in Venezuela at the moment.
It will also "selectively" lift sanctions to allow the shipment and sale of Venezuelan oil to global markets, according to a plan published on Wednesday by the Department of Energy. Oil sales will start immediately with the sale of 30 to 50 million barrels from the South American country. The US government pointed out that sales will "continue indefinitely," and the revenues will be deposited in accounts controlled by the United States in "globally recognized banks." The money will be distributed to the populations of the United States and Venezuela "at the discretion" of the Trump administration.
Page, on Venezuela: "Neither Maduro nor Trump. We are not facing a new world order, it is a monumental disorder"
The President of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has expressed his thoughts on the situation in Venezuela, rejecting both the figure of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and the US President, Donald Trump. "We are not facing a new world order, we are facing a monumental disorder," reports Europa Press.
From Villanueva de Alcardete, on the occasion of the inauguration of the water treatment plant, he pointed out that this "new monumental disorder" is structured "at the whim of a mandarin" in relation to the figure of the US president, questioning if he is truly "in his right mind."
He described it as "disturbing and very worrying" that the US military, "the most powerful in military terms in the world," is serving "the wildest capitalism to steal oil from other countries." He also stated that "the American government" practices "worldwide plunder" and with its attitude conveys a message, that "here I am the owner."
