Trump Says US Could Remain In Iran And Keep Oil, Similar To Deal With Venezuela
Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
President Donald Trump on Sept. 13 said the United States could ultimately remain in Iran and "keep the oil" in a similar manner to his administration's move to control some of Venezuela's oil reserves.
"We'll ultimately get out [of Iran], unless we decide to stay and keep the oil like Venezuela," Trump said at the Trump International Golf Course in Ireland, adding that the U.S. revenue from Venezuela has "paid for the war many times."
The president did not elaborate on a possible oil agreement with Iran or whether he would be willing to deploy troops in the country. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sept. 13.
Just over six months ago, the United States began strikes against Iran in a bid to end the country's nuclear aspirations as Trump has repeatedly said Tehran cannot be allowed to obtain a nucl...

The Guardian view on Donald Trump′s oil deal: Venezuela pays for his vanity | Editorial (The Guardian)
|
|
|
The US president seized a nation's natural wealth in a modern-day version of gunboat diplomacy to feed his ego – not to lower Americans' fuel billsImperialism does not require a flag to be planted or a governor dispatched. It can be a powerful nation deciding who governs a smaller, weaker country, and on what terms and for whose benefit its resources will be developed. Donald Trump's kidnapping of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, putting his deputy – Delcy Rodríguez – in his place as president, and then her signing a deal handing a fifth of the country's proven oil reserves to the US, amount to a modern version of 19th-century gunboat diplomacy. Regime change supplied America's commercial concession.This won't bother Mr Trump. But it should. The US president has oversold his neocolonial spoils. The additional production Venezuela is supposed to bring online might bring down oil prices eventually, but not anytime soon. Crucially, what Mr Trump calls “the biggest oil deal in history” won...

Regime opfert Öl für Machterhalt: Venezuela ist eine koloniale Autokratie nach Trumps Geschmack (N-TV)

Den politischen Kopf Venezuelas haben die USA im Januar entfernt. Spätestens mit dem historischen Öl-Deal zwischen Washington und Caracas wird das karibische Land zum Paradebeispiel dafür, wie sich US-Präsident Trump die Welt vorstellt... --- Marco Rubio sei der "Vizekönig Venezuelas", titelte schon vor Wochen die "New York Times". Demnach stimme sich Staatschefin Rodríguez mit dem spanisch sprechenden US-Außenminister per Handynachrichten ab. Politische Entscheidungen, sogar Äußerungen in der Presse und in den sozialen Medien segnet demnach auch Rubio ab. Das "Wall Street Journal" und weitere Medien haben ähnlich berichtet. Das Weiße Haus behandelt und spricht über den karibischen Staat so wie früher ein Imperium über eine neue Kolonie..
