Donald Trump’s administration has made billions of dollars in revenue from Venezuelan oil sales this year, but it’s proving tricky to work out where that money has gone.
The US took control of Venezuela’s oil exports earlier this year after the military operation resulting in the capture abduction of president Nicolás Maduro.
Vice-president Delcy Rodríguez was installed as leader, and the US suspended some sanctions on Venezuela with Trump saying they would help “fix” Venezuela’s oil infrastructure to “start making money for the country.”
But, six months on from the US taking control of Venezuela’s oil exports, there is little evidence of any economic boost for the South American nation.
In many ways the blatancy has been a good thing, it’s the level of corruption now by Trump, his family and cohorts that’s way beyond ‘out of control’.
But at least the rest of the world are watching and hopefully noticing similarities with any of their own politicians antics to compare.
Thanks to Trump, there are at least some telltale signs to be looking out for.
Hopefully Venezuela gets their oil money back and his filthy dirty rancid hands away from all of their assets.
His term already seems incredibly long.
Colombia just elected its own Trump. You can’t make this shit up.
It’s mostly that we let rich people buy up all media though.
What else do you expect.
If you give people the power to manipulate the way we relate to each other and to the world.
If you give people power full stop… it’s crazy. Voting for somebody to make decisions that you mostly won’t agree with, so that they can mostly line their pockets.
