Trump: US Oversight of Venezuela Could Last Years, Eyes Oil Profits

• US President Donald Trump stated that American oversight of Venezuela could last "much longer" than a year, as reported by The New York Times.
• Trump plans to "rebuild" Venezuela "in a very profitable way," emphasizing the use and taking of Venezuelan oil to lower prices and provide money to the nation.
• The US is reportedly "getting along very well" with the interim government of Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela.
• Trump unveiled a plan to refine and sell up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil, previously stuck under a US blockade.
• This move signals US coordination with the Venezuelan government following the capture of President Nicolas Maduro last weekend.
