President Trump and his advisers are planning a sweeping initiative to dominate the Venezuelan oil industry for years to come, and the president has told aides he believes his efforts could help lower oil prices to his favored level of $50 a barrel, according to people familiar with the matter.
A plan under consideration envisions the U.S. exerting some control over Venezuela’s state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA, or PdVSA, including acquiring and marketing the bulk of the company’s oil production, people familiar with the matter said.

I’m gonna press X for doubt.
They couldn’t even plan for the release of the Epstein files or taking over Portland or solving inflation on day one.
I thought this whole drama has nothing to do with oil ? NO ?
I wonder if this explains the kidnapping. There was already an economic partnership discussed and Maduro refused it but Rodriguez indicated she’d accept?
Was that why she was in Russia when all this went down? So Maduro couldn’t cry “traitor!!” and execute her during the attack?
Just guessing. Considering if this wasn’t just an American assisted palace coup. No confidence here though – still scratching my head.
edit: If this is the case then all Trump’s bluster about controlling Venezuela – practically impossible – is just laying down cover fire for Rodriguez assuming power.
Full mask off approach to their obvious bs
Alright, if the US can do this, India should be able to continue buying Russian oil
everyone else besides those in power is a slave
These fucks can’t plan shit
Socialism, American Socialism.
Trump thinks like a Cold War relic
To think this will happen with nothing blowing up is pretty mind boggling. Hes gonna get 150 a barrel before 50
