šŗšøā” Trumpās Bold Move on Venezuela: Oil, Sanctions, and a High-Stakes Showdown
According to a deep dive by ZeroHedge, former President Donald Trump is aiming to choke off Venezuelaās oil revenues as a fast track to ousting NicolĆ”s Maduro.
š¢ļø The Strategy
Target $10B annual oil cash flow fueling Maduroās regime
Ramp up sanctions, tighten financial choke points
Force regime collapse before China, Russia, and allies can entrench further
š Maduroās Counterplay
Leaning on Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran for discounted crude, tech, and operational support
Using migration and regional unrest as geopolitical leverage
Betting that the U.S. will avoid full-scale military intervention
ā ļø The Stakes
U.S. pressure is mounting: new FTO designations, Caribbean military posturing
Internal dissent and economic collapse may weaken Maduro from within
But Maduro is dug in ā a regime change could spark a bloody standoff
š” Bottom Line
Venezuelaās oil isnāt just a commodity ā itās geopolitical leverage. Trumpās approach is high-risk, aiming to force regime change through financial strangulation, while Maduro maneuvers to survive with global backers.
This is a game of oil, sanctions, and brinkmanship ā and the outcome could reshape Latin American geopolitics.
