The lack of transparency in the U.S foreign policy has always caused confusion and disasters, which indeed distracts the world and creates a vacuum and opens a gate for the American politicians to push their agenda into the targeted countries. Obviously preaching “Democracy” has become an effective tool to use by the American politicians among the oppressed people across the world.
Apparently the deeper looking into what the U.S is preaching, the more shocking a person can be and see how the American politicians are misleading and misinforming people, including the Americans. The U.S defines democracy differently from its universal definition.
When the beauty of democracy centers the argument in the U.S foreign policy and begins to be exported to the world, the hideous purpose can be expected hidden behind it. The capture of the former Venezuelan dictator, Nicolas Maduro, by the U.S military forces in January 2026, and being charged with narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapon offenses, had also other reasons that were hidden behind such offenses, which led to his capture.
In fact, Venezuela has the largest crude oil reserve in the world. According to Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), Venezuela approximately holds 303 billion barrels of crude oil in its reserve. It was not a surprise when President Donald Trump ordered the U.S forces in a secret operation to capture Venezuela’s Maduro.
Ending Maduro’s reign as the result of President Trump’s executive order indeed was a historical moment and a relief for the Venezuelans. But obviously the main reason was neither the freedom of the Venezuelans nor Madura’s actions per se. The U.S eyes on the Venezuelan oil that required bringing down the regime on its knees generated the military operation in capturing Maduro.
The U.S oil deal with Venezuela as President Trump announced it on Friday is revealing the hidden purpose behind the U.S military forces operation in the country and ending Maduro’s era, which is opening the path for the U.S to reach the country’s rich oil reserve. This deal would entitle the U.S to 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil or 20% of its oil reserves.
The Trump administration claims that the oil deal is not a political process and the interim Venezuelan government was not involved in the agreement as according to the White House it was with a private oil company. However, the Venezuelan authority was being a part of the agreement. Apparently, the U.S recognizes the Venezuelan interim government only for such an important oil deal that is one of the many U.S. plans to control the major oil resources in the world.
Furthermore, with the deal signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the U.S is aiming to boost the weapons production as it has been facing shortages and became a concern while President Trump denies such a claim. “ For the treasonous SCUM that refuses to accurately report on our Military Operation in Iran, we have virtually unlimited amounts of Mid to High Grade Ammunition, …” President Trump posted on his Truth Social.
President Trump regarding the oil deal also posted that it “…is a Gift from Venezuela to the people of the United States.” This is another hoax of President Trump as he places the American people in the front of the picture while he hides his goals behind them. This oil deal can damage the U.S reputation in the world and break the trust among its allies.
The Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado opposed the agreement between the Venezuelan interim government and the U.S, and she believes that the Venezuelan oil does not belong to the illegitimate government. “The wealth of our subsoil does not belong to an illegitimate regime – it belongs to the Venezuelan people,” Machado said.
However, this oil deal is not a gift to the people of the U.S, but it is a gift to the rich elite politicians of the U.S.
