"Donald Trump has been clear. That he will take control of Venezuelan oil. That U.S. oil companies will enter to repair the infrastructure in order to manage and export the crude. That this according to his account will allow the U.S. to be compensated for the oil Venezuela stole from an industry developed with U.S. capital, technology, and expertise, and nationalized in 1976 by the Venezuelan state, now reframed as socialist expropriation."
"They are misrepresenting what happened. And while some may argue that it is possible to condemn Trump while celebrating the fall of a tyrant who he indeed was the truth is that what occurred represents something different: an open rupture with international law, the disregard of multilateral agreements, and the violation of basic principles such as sovereignty, non-intervention, and the peaceful resolution of disputes."
"Trump embodies an approach that is willing to intervene directly when it believes its strategic interests are at stake Men watch the smoke from the explosions in La Guaira, Venezuela, this Saturday.Matias Delacroix (AP) Donald Trump has been clear. That he will take control of Venezuelan oil. That U.S. oil companies will enter to repair the infrastructure in order to manage and export the crude."
Donald Trump stated an intention to take control of Venezuelan oil and to allow U.S. oil companies to repair infrastructure, manage production, and export crude. The stated justification frames the move as compensation for oil taken after the 1976 nationalization that used U.S. capital and technology. A U.S. military operation in Caracas that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife is presented as evidence of direct intervention. Those actions are characterized as a breach of international law, a disregard for multilateral agreements, and a violation of principles such as sovereignty, non-intervention, and the peaceful resolution of disputes.
