Donald Trump confirms the US plans to control Venezuela’s oil for years, revealing the resource-driven motives behind the recent regime change in Caracas.

President Donald Trump has stripped away the diplomatic veneer surrounding the US intervention in Venezuela, declaring in a New York Times interview that his administration intends to control the South American nation and its vast oil reserves for "years."
His comments confirm the worst fears of anti-imperialist critics: the removal of Nicolás Maduro was less about democracy and more about energy dominance. Trump claimed the new interim government led by Delcy Rodríguez is "giving us everything we feel is necessary," essentially describing a vassal state relationship.
Trump was explicit: "We’re going to be using oil, and we’re going to be taking oil." This transactional approach marks a return to the Monroe Doctrine, treating Latin America as America’s backyard resource hub.
By endorsing Rodríguez—a former Maduro loyalist—over opposition leader María Corina Machado, Trump has shown he prefers compliance to democracy. The message is clear: the US doesn't want a free Venezuela; it wants a profitable one.
