The Trump administration plans to control future sales of Venezuelan oil and hold the proceeds in US accounts, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said, making the clearest statement yet on Washington’s strategy to bring the impoverished nation’s crude to market and control its most valuable resource. Wright, who spoke at a Goldman Sachs Group Inc. conference in Miami Wednesday, said initially the barrels would come from crude Venezuela is holding in storage, which has been filling up amid the US blockade and threatening to force some production off line. “We’re just going to get that crude moving again and sell it,” Wright said.
THIS is wrong on OMG so many levels!!! This violates a zillion international laws! Fucking Trump is ushering in the most dangerous world since the start of 20th century.
Yea. It’s a slow moving very poorly planned raid.
For some reason that scene from Conan the Barbarian comes to mind, where Conan is asked what is best in life.
Putin has been waiting there since 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea.
Well before that when he entered Georgia
Yes, Georgia was even earlier.
