Trump told the industry leaders that his administration - not Caracas - would decide which firms are allowed to operate in Venezuela following the capture of president Nicolas Maduro.
"We're going to be making the decision as to which oil companies are going to go in ... (we're) going to cut a deal with the companies," Trump said at the White House, arguing that foreign firms had faced no meaningful protections under Maduro.
"But now you have total security. It's a whole different Venezuela," he added.... CNA
Trump is talking and acting as if he has already conquered Venezuela. He is now running Venezuela and dividing its assets like oil and natural resources. He has invited all the oil companies' CEOs to his circus and trying to make them happy with his offer of Venezuelan oil. If what Trump is doing is real, it means the Venezuelan military has already sold Venezuela to Trump. Only the military has such a power to do so. And the next step will be to put Delcy Rodriguez in jail, instal a general as the new dictator of Venezuela. If true, then all the military leaders are just pretending and putting on a show that they will defend Venezuela and support the interim President Rodriguez.
There is no other way for Trump to take over Venezuela other than by force, by the Venezuelan military or American boots in Venezuela. Then the next question, would the Venezuelans agree to become a colony of the American Empire? And surely not all the generals will want to betray their country and people. Some will stand up to resist, with the support of the Venezuelan people.
It is not easy for the Americans to take over an independent nation state like Venezuela. And the oil CEOs know this. Pumping hundreds of billions into Venezuela, a country taken over by invasion and without the approval of the people of Venezuela is a very risky and unstable venture. At any time a nationalist leader will rise to want everything back. If they cannot fight a conventional war with the American invaders, they can fight a guerilla war. The mountains and jungles will be their fortresses.
"If we look at the legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela - today, it's uninvestable." This is what ExxonMobil chief executive Darren Woods said in reply to Trump's proposal to move in to take over Venezuelan oil and assets. Trump may be a shallow thinking idiot, but the CEOs of oil companies are not. They know the risk and what they are getting into. They can only invest in Venezuela with the approval of a legitimate and legally elected govt by the Venezuelans. Lunatic Trump cannot think through this and think might is right. Only an oil executive who is more stupid than Trump will be convinced to go along with his hare brain scheme.
Venezuelans will have the whole world, the UN behind them to chase out the invaders. No intellect Trump is getting more silly when age is also catching up on him. Stupidity and old age is a potent combination for making silly plans, as good as brain dead. Trump will not have enough Imperial stormtroopers to control Venezuela and fight the resistance forces. Trump's stormtroopers are badly needed in American homeland to fight and kill Americans, and also needed in the north to fight Canada and NATO forces.

Trump does not know the difference between reality and make believe. The man lives in the twilight zone.
All the months of gloating about a peace deal in Ukraine being close, then closer and then closest never materialized. All the hundreds of countries lining up to kiss his arsehole over tariffs and deals that he was gloating about never happened. All the done deals he had with China were all made up by him unilaterally, with China and Xi just letting him blow his trumpet. All the magnificent exploits of the military in Venezuela were all done by bribing traitors who opened the doors for him to rob. Just like taking candy from a kid. What kind of magnificent military expertise is that?
I could not reconcile the economic news coming out of the USA. On the one hand job creation is not happening without factories being attracted to the USA, while job losses by the thousands are happening and yet the narrative is that unemployment claims are falling. How in the world is that possible? What are those who were laid off depending on? It can only happen in the USA, the exceptional country.
Just blowing bubbles and his base suck it up.
The USA citizens really need to drain the swamp this time. But insane Trump is thinking of getting rid of elections. Now that is problematic for the people.
Trump is creating a situation where he will enact emergency rule forever.
