Trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner with US on oil: Exclusive
The United States pressures Venezuela to expel China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and to form an exclusive oil partnership with the U.S.
The Biden administration has outlined demands for Venezuela to sever economic ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and to partner exclusively with the U.S. on oil production and sales. The U.S. is leveraging its influence over Venezuela's oil exports, which are nearing full tanker capacity, to push Caracas into a financially tight position within weeks. The move is part of broader U.S. strategy to reduce rival powers’ presence in Latin America and strengthen American energy and security interests.
