‘We Want Our Oil Back’: Trump’s Mask-Off Moment on ‘Total Blockade’ of Venezuela

President Trump has escalated his aggression against Venezuela to a “complete and total blockade.”

Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra discuss Trump’s recent admission that his war on Venezuela is about controlling the country’s oil reserves, along with giving crucial context on the Bolivarian Revolution, the real reason behind two decades of U.S. attacks, and why this war for oil is reaching a dangerous new peak.

This week Trump went mask-off on Venezuela, admitting the quiet part out loud that his “total blockade” is about stealing the country’s oil.

@RaniaKhalek and @ZoPepperC break down why the US is trying to start a war that 70% of Americans oppose.
