When asked how much running #Venezuela, potentially for years, will cost, #Trump said: “It won’t cost us anything.”

His claim that the #US won’t have to spend any money because it will be “reimbursed” by the #oil the US will take “out of the ground” is a total fantasy.

This will cost the US billions.

The news conference is over. Despite multiple questions about how #Venezuela will be run, no details were provided.

#Trump repeatedly said “we’re gonna do” this & “we’re gonna do” that, but never gave info about HOW.

There were vague allusions to #MarcoRubio & Pete #Hegseth & a “group” but no specifics.

This is nuts.

#Trump also completely dismissed the idea of working with opposition leader & #NobelPeacePrize winner #MaríaCorinaMachado who actually won the last presidential #election in #Venezuela. Instead he said #MarcoRubio was in contact with Maduro’s VP #DelcyRodríguez. If this was even slightly about #Maduro being an illegitimate president, Rodríguez would also be illegitimate. This is so transparently about #oil it’s ridiculous.
