What he seems to be saying is that Maduro is responsible for the nationalization of Venezuela's oil.
But that actually started in 1976 with President Perez, then President Chavez further solidified government control, with Maduro finalizing full government control of all oil fields and production.
Just for the record, it was the big oil companies, like the ones Trump met with in the White House earlier this year, who lost ownership of the oil fields.
I wonder what they promised Trump in return for getting those holdings back?
We know he's not doing it for us.
And, I wonder how many American soldiers Trump is willing to sacrifice to that end?
