US-led coup in Venezuela about oil, not 'democracy' - Ben Norton on TRT World |
![]() |
I joined TRT World to discuss the US-led coup in Venezuela: "John Bolton very clearly said in a speech on Fox Business that the United States is working with companies, both in the US and in Venezuela, to try to get access to Venezuela’s substantial oil reserves. He said that quite clearly. So this is not about democracy; this is not about freedom. The Trump administration is exposing what has been known for a long time, that the United States and the opposition in Venezuela want to privatize Venezuela’s state assets and move to allow Western multinational corporations access to the largest oil reserves in the world."
