Trump: Venezuela discussions are “working out well,” according
Trump: The US is “working along really well” with Venezuela’s administration, according to US President Donald Trump, who cited continued diplomatic engagement and oil supplies as indicators of strengthening relations.
Venezuela is doing quite well. Trump told reporters onboard the Air Force that he and the leadership are getting along well and that they will see how things work out. After the US raid that overthrew Nicolas Maduro as Venezuela’s leader, one was questioned about their ties with the new government in Caracas.
Trump said that Venezuela has requested that the United States accept a significant cargo of oil. “Can we take 50 million barrels of oil?” she inquired. “Yes, we can,” I said, and he agreed. “It is currently en route to the United States and is valued at $4 billion and $4.2 billion.”
Trump said, “At some point I’ll meet,” when asked whether he intended to meet with Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez. Yes, she has performed admirably.
Additionally, he proposed a future meeting with Maria Corina Machado, the head of the opposition. Tuesday or Wednesday, I’ve heard. “I’m excited about that,” he remarked.
Despite criticizing ExxonMobil, Trump said that oil corporations have shown a great deal of interest in Venezuela. He said, “I didn’t like Exxon’s response.” “They’re acting too adorable.”
Trump said that he will provide energy companies “assurances that they’re going to be safe, that there’s going to be no problem, and there will be.” There won’t be any issues.
He blamed prior US leadership for historical challenges. He said, “They had issues in the past because they didn’t have Trump as president.”
Trump also mentioned more general regional diplomacy, such as discussions with Cuba, although he gave no specifics. “You’ll find out pretty soon,” he said.
In a previous social media post, Trump said that “no more oil or money” would be sent from Venezuela to Cuba and that the US military would help maintain a safe distance between the two nations.
He added, “Venezuela no longer needs protection from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years.” Trump said, “Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the world (by far!), to protect them, and we will.”
