US Policy on Venezuela

  • 🎯 Senator Markwayne Mullin criticizes Democratic and media attacks on US policy towards Venezuela, attributing them to hatred of President Trump.
  • πŸ’‘ Mullin recalls past criticisms from Democrats like Chuck Schumer, Chris Murphy, Tim Kaine, and Hakeem Jeffries against Trump's Venezuela policy in 2019, contrasting it with their current silence or opposition.
  • ⚠️ He highlights the hypocrisy of Democrats celebrating certain events while now supporting a dictator like Maduro, who is accused of stealing from the country.

Venezuela's Economic Situation

  • πŸ’° Despite having higher oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, 90% of Venezuelans live in poverty due to Maduro's alleged theft and criminal activities.
  • πŸ“ˆ Venezuela's oil is being sold illegally to Cuba and China at reduced rates.

US Role in Venezuela's Future

  • 🀝 The US intends to stabilize Venezuela, not run it, to help the country regain its former democracy and wealth.
  • πŸ›’οΈ The US will manage Venezuela's oil reserves to help pay their bills, ensuring funds do not go into the treasury but are used for stabilization efforts.
  • πŸ—£οΈ Interim President Delia Rodriguez initially made harsh remarks against US intervention but changed her tune, recognizing Venezuela's need for US assistance in brokering oil deals.
  • 🌱 The goal is to give the people of Venezuela an opportunity to rebuild their nation, which was once a wealthy example to the region before adopting a socialist dictatorship.
