US President Donald Trump has been working to fulfill his aspirations through foreign policy during his second term. Trump fulfilled his promise by carrying out a commando raid on Venezuela overnight and taking the country’s president and his wife hostage to the United States. Trump, who did not stop there, is declaring that he controls the entire South American country. In this context, it seems that Trump has now given key warnings to the government of Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodriguez.
Venezuela’s new leadership has reportedly warned against severing economic ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. International media outlets are also citing sources as saying that the country is pushing to partner only with the United States in oil production, especially in heavy crude oil sales.
The Trump team has made it clear that if Venezuela wants to increase its oil production, it must meet these conditions, according to an ABC News report. “First, the country (Venezuela) must cut off economic ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba. Second, Venezuela must agree to be a special partner with the United States in oil production and to favor the United States in large crude oil sales,” the report said.
