Once upon a time, Venezuela was the 2nd America. Same mix of races hoping for freedoms, worked hard, amazing gift of oil etc, forgot to vote, forrgot who was taking over. Now they are POOF gone! A lesson here America. Never give up yur rights, like possession of guns, & VOTE

On this week’s episode of “MAGA”, The U.S. turns her eyes off of Mexico momentarily & now has her radar set on Venezuela.......because we are such a good example of how we should treat our families, veterans, elders, & foreign visitors! 🙄

Good move. This will force Venezuela to develop deeper ties with Russia, China and Iran who together will cough up $19.94 to help the ailing economy. This is getting more interesting by the minute.

Hey we could use that 7 billion to build a wall.

Will Iran Follow in the Footsteps ...

Pure political theater. Anything to divert attention from Mueller and The Roger show. Stone is imitating Trump playing the media

And increase the price of gasoline here in the US.

Really? He's pulling another stunt! PUTIN OWNS 49% OF CITGO, allU.S. REFINERIES AND OVER 60% OF VENEZUALAN OIL FIELDS. IF MADURO IS OUSTED PUTIN WINS BIG-TIME! IndictTrump PutinsPOTUS

🚨🚨 MADURO IS NOT PRESIDENT 🚨🚨

This maduro is anothe Sodem Hussien he even looks like him and speeches are like his. His stance and mannerisms..he's a Latin Hussein

DRUG MONEY has been sustaining Ali Baba and the 40 thieves that rule Venezuela

Wag the dog. Look over here, we really don’t give a shit about Venezuela, we are just using to this to distract from my own criminal investigation. The Russians can buy the oil and sell to US higher price. trump & Putin But we have the cocaine: Maduro. 2 dictators 1 wannabe dic

and lift all Deripaska sanctions. He's been a good boy.

Trump admin made a good decision doing this, but the more responsible decision is to let private companies own the rigs temporarily so Venezuela bill be prepared to open their oil economy in 5 years time. With all this oil, private companies alone can bring this country up

se va ir el dinero de la nación en pintar cada idiotes donde diga mierda chavista

Trump and his co-criminals should stay out of Venezuela’s business!

They cant do that cause its not south america its south lambia

THANK YOU!!! venezuelalibre

This is blatant hypocrisy given what we did *yesterday' with Russian sanctions.

It's all to make people of Venezuela happy. 🤦

Guarantee, some how Rosneft will make out like bandits.

Y maduro NO es el presidente de Venezuela.

And then the huge media corporations come out and print in unison the narrative that the bad dictator is the one that kills his own people by depriving them of food and medicine. All the world is waking up to see that it’s the US sanctions that make Venezuelans die, starve and1/2

Who needs oil when coke is so white

Terrorismo comercial...... EEUU-Israel en decadencia.....

Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay and Peru. Imbeciles, you're next! Again.

This is totally an unilateral bully tactic. We are sanctions crazed.

Venezuela's Maduro seeks talks with Trump as US sanctions state-owned oil firmVenezuela's Nicolas Maduro is reaching out to the U.S. after it recognized his opponent as the country's real president and is now moving to empower him. I don’t see a U.S. security need which, I think, is required before lives of U.S. military are risked. Well as soon as the shutdown talk dies down he will need a new distraction. Nothing like sending American soldiers to their deaths to make sure media doesn’t talk about his Russian treason. America is destroying the world... Irak, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria... it should know it’s making more enemies everyday

The Latest: Rubio says US to sanction Venezuela's oil coCARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The Latest on the political crisis in Venezuela (all times local): 4:30 p.m. Sen. Marco Rubio says the U.S. will hit Venezuela's state-owned oil company with sanctions aimed at increasing pressure on President Nicolas Maduro to step down from office. The Florida Republican and two people briefed on the administration's plans say Treasury will impose penalties as early as Monday on the company known by its acronym PDVSA. The sanctions will include a freeze on any assets the firm may have in U.S. jurisdictions and bar Americans from doing business with it. The two people briefed on the sanctions were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Rubio praised the Trump administration for taking the action, which follows its earlier decision to recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as the interim president. — Matthew Lee in Washington. kylegriffin1 While going easy on Russia.

Venezuelan government could topple on its own, even without new U.S. sanctions, economists sayThreatened U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil could further destabilize the beleaguered country, but some economists say there's already a good chance the Latin American country could collapse on its own. Why do the immigrate here? Venezuela has given away it's oil reserves to China and others it borrowed from with no way to pay back. So who owns their oil now ? Ooooo it will collapse on its own
