Trump emphasized that after the removal of Nicolas Maduro, the US would effectively control the distribution of Venezuelan resources. According to him, Beijing and Moscow would be able to receive the necessary raw materials directly through American channels.
China can buy as much oil as it wants from us. Russia can get all the oil it needs from us, and they love oil, even though they produce it in large quantities. But China, Russia, and the rest will be able to come, and we will be open for business almost immediately
The President also confirmed his expectations for large-scale financing of the industry. He expects oil and gas giants to invest at least $100 billion in restoring Venezuela's infrastructure.
