For decades, the United States built a carefully crafted narrative about Venezuela.
He spoke of democracy, human rights, freedoms, 'legitimate' elections, and the threat of cartels.
All of that was the wrapper.
Today, that wrapper was broken.
The stance is brutally simple:
Washington claims that they created the Venezuelan oil industry and that, therefore, the oil from that country belongs to them.
Not as a metaphor.
Not as cooperation.
As historical right.
This is where something unusual happens:
For the first time in a long time, Trump stops pretending.
It no longer needs to justify sanctions with moral speeches nor sell the idea that the problem is Venezuelan democracy.
It also does not care if the country is governed by authoritarians, socialists, or military.
The message is raw and direct:
Venezuela imports for its oil, and nothing else.
This confirms what many sensed and few said out loud.
The United States never had an ethical crusade in Venezuela.
It was never a mission of institutional rescue.
It was, from the beginning, a dispute for energy control, for strategic reserves, for one of the largest concentrations of crude oil on the planet.
When oil flowed aligned with the interests of Washington, there was no problem with the regime.
When he stopped doing it, the language of “dictatorship,” sanctions, isolation, and international pressure appeared.
The script repeats itself over and over in history:
The country changes.
The villain changes.
The resource is always the same.
Trump does not inaugurate this vision.
What he does is take off the mask.
It speaks aloud what other presidents whispered in classified documents.
For the United States, Venezuela is not a sovereign nation with the right to decide its energy destiny.
It is a lost asset they seek to recover.
And that uncomfortable honesty exposes a truth that transcends ideologies:
When it comes to oil,
morality is negotiable,
democracy is optional,
and foreign sovereignty is an obstacle.
Venezuela is not at the center of the conflict for what it is,
but for what it has.
And as long as oil remains beneath its soil,
the interest of the United States will never disappear.
