The news website Axios is reports that the Donald Trump administration has designated Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as the head of a foreign terrorist organization, fueling fear of a potential U.S. invasion of Venezuela, which holds the world’s largest known reserves of oil.
While the Trump administration claims its escalating attacks on boats in the Caribbean are in response to drug trafficking, critics say this is just another attempt by the U.S. government to destabilize Venezuela to force a regime change and exploit resources, including oil.
Florida Congressmember María Salazar, a right-wing Republican assistant whip, spoke was interviewed on Fox Business, saying.
“Venezuela, for the American oil companies, will be a field day, because it will be more than a trillion dollars in economic activity.”
