🇺🇸🇻🇪 TRUMP: "VENEZUELA STOLE OUR OIL AND WE WANT IT BACK" - WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT? In 2007, Hugo Chávez nationalized Venezuela's oil industry and kicked out American companies like ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. These weren't small operations. We're talking about billions in assets that got seized overnight. The companies sued, won arbitration awards, but Venezuela never paid up. The infrastructure those American companies built? Now rotting under socialist management. Fast forward to today. Trump's calling it what he thinks it is: theft. The biggest theft in American history, according to him. “The oil companies are going to go in and rebuild this system, they're going to spend billions of dollars, and we’re going into the ground and taking back what they stole. It was the greatest theft in the history of America… Nobody has ever stolen our property like they have. They took our oil away from us, they took the infrastructure away, and all of that is rotted.” Source: @clashreport
