When the socialist took over
Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America and were
relegated to the poor house….. millions were lucky to get out
So trump and the US companies are upset and want their own form of reparations for damage that was done in the past.
Just another example of how MAQA and the woke left are similar. Now come the but, but, buts for why this situation is different.
The damage was done in the socialist regime of Hugo Chavez. A fool who spent oil profits on useless social programs. He relied too much on oil as his country went to shit. He seized US oil company assets in Venezuela and two companies left leaving only one.
Trump has been consistent on other countries treating the US very badly….. not happening
Chavez brought the Chinese in and who knows what they were doing, but they didn’t really help anything as far as the
People of Venezuela were concerned, it only got worse
You might not like to admit it, but Venezuela needs US expertise to restore the oil industry and get it humming again…. A large majority of the profits should be directed into Venezuela to get the economy back on track.
