The part about actually taxing oil exploitation is likely off the table because of how Trump has set things up. So, yah, take one look at it and walk away. Like all oil companies are saying. |

Wealth fund, strict % controls, what to spend it on. Trump wants a long term stable Venezuela, a more stable backyard boosts US power. |

America's neighbors becoming stable and prosperous would mean that they also become more powerful ... which means we wouldn't be able to bully and rape them for resources anymore. Trump views the rest of this hemisphere as our plantations. - |
