Trumps deal took a turn for the worse when no US big oil firms were willing to steal Venezuela’s oil.
He did have a pivot, however. Enter Vitol and Trafigura two of the largest independent oil traders in the world. They are already selling Venezuela’s oil to the Indians and the Chinese, on behalf of the United States – in your name, not mine. Both China and India face threats from Trump for buying sanctioned oil. (so we see what sanctions are good for)
Just so we are clear, the United States is a threat to almost every nuclear power in the world. Fortunately, he is afraid of North Korea.
I should probably mention that a convicted criminal is holding a license to sell US oil, on appeal of course.
As surprised as I am, Big Oil was not corruptible. So Trump is taking the OG route instead. Stealing Russia business, taking over Venezuela’s oil, and subletting immediately after US oil denials, is quite timely. Actually, hurriedly – as a matter of fact.
He is going to steal everything he can before his impeachment.
We literally have OG occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
[by the way, Trump is returning Venezuela’s oil tanker so it can pass through proper accounting :-0]
