So this is going to end up with Trump spending billions in U.S. government funds on Venezuela to support a corrupt regime, same as he spent billions in Argentina to keep Milei in power and billions in El Salvador for Bukele's prisons, isn't it? That's the "Donroe" Doctrine.

Realizing President Donald Trump’s plan for a US-led revival of Venezuela’s beleaguered oil industry could be a years-long and challenging process costing upwards of $100 billion.
