America needs a Venezuela deal that only President Trump can deliver
Fox News
President Trump can use strength and diplomacy to maintain access to Venezuela's oil, while applying pressure on China, Russia and Iran.
Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien (ret.) was the 27th U.S. national security adviser from 2019-2021 and serves as chairman of State Armor’s Board of Advisors.
Make no mistake: the Chinese Communist Party is watching Venezuela closely. They’ve spent years offering the Maduro regime lifelines via loans, military hardware, and surveillance technology in exchange for backdoor control over Venezuela’s oil and infrastructure. Their mission is simple: squeeze American companies out and use Venezuela as yet another lever of power against the United States in our own hemisphere. This situation cannot be ignored any longer. And only one leader has both the strength and the acumen to break this deadlock: President Donald J. Trump.
