#Trump said during a nearly two-hour interview on Wednesday evening that he expected the #UnitedStates would be running #Venezuela & extracting #oil from its huge reserves for years.Trump’s remarks came hours after admin officials said the #US plans to effectively assume #control of selling Venezuela’s oil indefinitely, part of a 3-phase plan that Secy of State #MarcoRubio outlined for members of #Congress.#MafiaState #geopolitics #law #sovereignty #InternationalLaw https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/trump-interview-venezuela.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

While #Republican lawmakers have been largely “supportive” [whipped] of the admin’s actions, #Democrats on Wednesday reiterated their warnings that the #UnitedStates was headed toward a protracted international intervention without clear #legal authority.#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #law #Congress #WarPowers #criminal #Trump #Maduro #abduction #Venezuela #oil #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #ExtrajudicialKillings #theft #piracy #InternationalLaw

During the wide-ranging interview, #Trump did not give a precise timerange for how long the #UnitedStates would remain #Venezuela’s #overlord. 4 months? 6 months? A year? Longer?“I would say much longer,” Trump replied.…Trump did not answer questions about why he recognized #Maduro’s VP #DelcyRodríguez as Venezuela’s new leader instead of #MaríaCorinaMachado, the opposition leader whose party led a successful election campaign against Maduro in 2024 & recently won the Nobel Peace Prize.

@Nonilex like trump had any idea what was being discussed. There is no plan at all. Just destruction of everything.

…#Trump claimed that he had already begun to make money for the #UnitedStates by taking #oil that has been under sanctions. He referred to his Tuesday night announcement that the #US would obtain 30 to 50 million barrels of heavy #Venezuela crude oil.But he offered no time period for that process, and he acknowledged it would take years to revive the country’s neglected oil sector.“The oil will take a while,” he said.#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #law #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

#Trump appeared far more focused on the #past capture mission than the details of how to navigate #Venezuela’s #future. He declined to say what might prompt him to put #US forces on the ground in the country.“I wouldn’t want to tell you that,” he said.#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #law #Congress #WarPowers #oil #LandGrab #sovereignty #WarCrimes #theft #piracy #InternationalLaw

Would he insert #US troops if the Venezuelan government blocked him from access to the country’s #oil? Would he send them in if #Venezuela refused to kick out Russian & Chinese personnel, as his admin has demanded?“I can’t tell you that,” said #Trump. “I really wouldn’t want to tell you that, but they’re treating us with great respect. As you know, we’re getting along very well with the administration that is there right now.”#MafiaState #geopolitics #law #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

#Trump sidestepped a question about why he declined to install the man the #US declared the winner of the 2024 #Venezuela presidential election, #EdmundoGonzález. González was essentially a proxy candidate for the lead opposition leader, Ms. Machado.He reiterated that #Maduro’s allies are cooperating with the US, despite their hostile public statements.“They’re giving us everything that we feel is necessary,” he said. “Don’t forget, they took the #oil from us years ago.” [“took” is inaccurate]

He was referring to the legal nationalization of facilities built by #US #oil companies. #Trump has already been talking to US oil executives about investing in the Venezuelan fields, but many are reluctant, worried that the operation to run the country could falter when Trump leaves office, or that #Venezuela’s #military & #intelligence services would undercut the effort because they were being cut out of the profits.#MafiaState #imperialism #geopolitics #law #sovereignty #InternationalLaw

@Nonilex Per the usual. Media should hold him more accountable and less ‘of interest’. They should have learned that lesson in his first term already.

@Nonilex The orange One has no idea. It doesn't make any sense to interview this wreck of a person at all. The earlier he stops shitting his pampers, the better.

@Nonilex fucking finger smeller. This is how pedophiles turn a phrase. This kind of wording makes survivors SCREAM inside.
