Trump’s Venezuela Oil Deal: Everyone Hates It for Different Reasons
In a twist that nobody saw coming, both the far-left and the opposition in Venezuela are united in their absolute fury over a massive new oil pact.
It turns out that if you want to get Venezuela’s fractured political scene to agree on something, you just need Donald Trump to show up and cut a deal. The White House just announced that North American Blue Energy Partners is getting a 100-year lease on 17 oil fields, essentially handing over 65 billion barrels of crude to the US.
The absurdity here is that the communists and the democratic opposition are now on the same side. The Communist Party of Venezuela is screaming about the betrayal of the nation's wealth, while the democratic opposition is pointing out that Delcy Rodríguez doesn't exactly have the legal standing to sign away the country’s future for a century.
Experts are already calling it a chaotic asset grab that ignores democracy entirely. It’s a bold strategy: solve the energy crisis by shacking up with a regime everyone else is trying to isolate.
Nothing says "America First" quite like a hundred-year handshake with a government that isn't even recognized by half the planet.
