    Glad to see the UK stand up and state they had nothing to do with the Maduro operation and then immediately conduct some good old fashioned privateering.

      It was a shadow fleet vessel that’s changed it’s name 5 times in 5 years because of sanctions. Not the same thing.

    Energy Secretary Wright said the U.S. would market stored Venezuelan oil first and then sell future production indefinitely, with revenues deposited into accounts controlled by the U.S.President Donald Trump has also announced that Venezuela will only purchase “American-made” products with the money made from its oil deal with America.

    So…if the US is keeping all the money from the sale of Venezuela’s oil, how is Venezuela supposed to buy US products with that money? Do any of these people even realize how stupid they sound?
