Jesse Watters Says Taking Venezuela's Oil Is 'Common Sense'

"a recent conversation with Trump in which he said the difference between Venezuela and Iraq is that he will be keeping the oil. I asked him, I said, Mr. President, when you say, quote, we're going to run everything that obviously causes deep concerns because of the disaster in Iraq,' Scarborough said on Morning Joe. The president's response, Joe, the difference between Iraq and this is that Bush didn't keep the oil. We're going to keep the oil.'"

"Trump says, take the oil. Democrats call that imperialistic. We call it common sense. You know, we won spoils after World War II. We told our allies, lose the colonies. We took half Japan's gold they stole, built military bases on everyone's turf, and pegged the world currencies to the dollar. Was that fair? We've neglected our own neighborhood for the last 25 years because we were stuck in the sand in Iraq and Afghanistan."

"Maduro and his wife were captured by United States forces and are now facing narco-terrorism charges. Maduro had originally been indicted on drug charges back in 2020. Trump has claimed that the United States will run Venezuela for a time, leading critics to question whether the administration is getting involved in regime change that could start a war. Watters on Tuesday pushed back on Democrats who think Trump's declarations about Venezuelan oil are imperialistic, and he compared it to the spoils of war."

Jesse Watters argued that President Trump's plan to take Venezuelan oil is common sense after United States forces captured Nicolas Maduro. Watters highlighted a clip of Joe Scarborough recounting Trump saying the difference between Venezuela and Iraq is that "we're going to keep the oil." Maduro and his wife were captured and now face narco-terrorism charges; Maduro was previously indicted on drug charges in 2020. Trump has said the United States will run Venezuela for a time, prompting concerns about regime change and potential war. Watters rejected claims the oil plan is imperialistic and compared it to wartime spoils.
