It is reported that according to Senator Roger Wicker, the U.S. plan is based on controlling Venezuelan oil tankers, which are currently fully loaded. He also pointed out that Caracas has only a few weeks left before financial collapse if exports are not resumed.
“We do not plan to deploy troops on the ground... That is not our intention,” he emphasized. According to him, the strategy includes a naval blockade and economic pressure.
President Trump has already stated that the interim authorities of Venezuela will transfer between 30 to 50 million barrels of oil to the United States for sale, with the proceeds being controlled by Washington “in the interest of the people of Venezuela and the United States.”
