The US ex-patriots I met IN VENEZUELA were primarily quite happy in Venezuela. So those folks are not reliable to give out accurate info.

The fact is, the USA has been trying to topple first Chávez, then Maduro and doing whatever possible to mess up their economy including manipulating Vzla out of its own oil production.
