Trump’s goals in kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro became clearer today with statements he made on social media along with a Congressional briefing with lawmakers with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Rubio lays out long-term plan for U.S. involvement in Venezuela.

The Trump administration has a three-phase plan for stabilizing and rebuilding Venezuela and installing a new government, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told members of Congress on Wednesday, laying out a prolonged mission for the United States there following the military raid that captured President Nicolás Maduro.

Mr. Rubio explained [that there] would be a tightened quarantine on Venezuelan oil, reflected in the seizure on Wednesday of two additional oil tankers.

“We are in the midst right now and in fact about to execute on a deal to take all the oil,” Mr. Rubio said, pointing to the most powerful economic lever the U.S. has over Venezuela.

“We are going to take between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil. We’re going to sell it in the marketplace at market rates, not at the discounts Venezuela was getting,” Mr. Rubio added. (Source.)

Well, that’s very interesting, because before the invasion the U.S. was purchasing more than just “between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil“.

As you can see in this graph, in 2024 the U.S. was purchasing 220,000 barrels of oil per day, which was an increase of 64% over 2023, and a total of over 91 million barrels of oil.

The U.S. purchase of Venezuelan oil continued to increase in 2025, which according to one report was a 220% increase. (Source.)

So if the U.S. is now only going to import “between 30 and 50 million barrels of oil“, that is actually a potential decrease in what they have been purchasing which was above 100 million barrels in 2025.

Trump also told Venezuela to stop exporting oil to China and Russia, or anybody else for that matter.

Trump demands Venezuela kick out China and Russia, partner only with US on oil: Exclusive

The Trump administration has told Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez that the regime must meet the White House’s demands before being allowed to pump more oil, according to three people familiar with the administration’s plan.

First, the country must kick out China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba and sever economic ties, the sources said. Second, Venezuela must agree to partner exclusively with the U.S. on oil production and favor America when selling heavy crude oil, they added.

According to one person, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told lawmakers in a private briefing on Monday that he believes the U.S. can force Venezuela’s hand because its existing oil tankers are full. Rubio also told lawmakers that the U.S. estimates that Caracas has only a couple of weeks before it will become financially insolvent without the sale of its oil reserves. (Source.)

As you can see from the graph above, China has been buying as much oil from Venezuela than almost all of the other countries in the world combined.

That is a LOT of oil that the Trump Administration is attempting to take out of the market. Why would they do that?

To get oil prices to increase.

The oil industry in the U.S. has struggled to keep the price of oil above $60 a barrel for a couple of years now. They no longer have control over OPEC since June of 2024 when Saudi Arabia did not renew an 80-year-old agreement with the United States that established the U.S. Dollar as the world currency to purchase Saudi oil.

This story was suppressed in the U.S. Media, and when we published it, several commenters who were obviously trolls tried to comment on it and discredit the story back then. See:

So now the U.S. is trying to control the price of oil worldwide by trying to take over Venezuelan oil, as Maduro was making agreements with China to pay for oil in Chinese Yuan, instead of U.S. dollars.

Here is a chart published by Market Watch today about Venezuelan oil exports for 2025, which was dominated by China until the U.S. started attacking drug cartel boats ships carrying Venezuelan oil at the end of September.

As you can see, exports of Venezuelan oil peaked in September, before the U.S. military moved into the area, and then started decreasing.

And notice what Rubio said today: “We’re going to sell it in the marketplace at market rates, not at the discounts Venezuela was getting.” In other words, we are going to make the price of oil start going back up again so the Rockefellers and the Bushes and all the other oil barons in Texas can start making money again.

Here is a video by Taylor Kennedy of ITM Trading talking about the how the U.S. is trying to hang on to the Petro Dollar which was the real reason for the Venezuelan invasion. (Note: she wants to sell you gold and silver.)

How Will China Respond?

China obviously has the most to lose from this deal, IF Trump and Rubio’s plan works, and that is a big “IF”, because the Maduro regime is largely still in tact, and we will see what their loyalty to China actually is as they are fighting back against Trump’s rhetoric.

The U.S. legacy media is making a big deal out of the fact that they are “cooperating” with the U.S. to fill orders for sales of oil to the U.S., but they have been doing that for the past several years, so it is more business as usual, only less of it, and not necessarily “cooperation.”

One indication of how China might respond was published by The Information today, where they reported that China is not allowing their Tech companies to import Nvidia’s powerful AI chips this week.

The Chinese government this week asked some tech companies to temporarily halt plans to buy Nvidia’s H200 AI chips, according to two people involved in the communication, throwing up a possible roadblock in Nvidia’s hopes of restarting chip sales to one of its biggest markets.

The instruction came roughly a month after President Donald Trump said he would allow Nvidia to sell H200s to China, marking the biggest rollback of Biden-era export restrictions. At the time, the reaction of the Chinese government was uncertain, as the government had been pushing local companies to buy locally made chips as a way of supporting the Chinese chip industry.

This week Chinese officials told companies to suspend purchase orders while the government decides on whether—and under what conditions—it will allow access to the high-performance Nvidia chips, the people said.

It remains unclear what prompted Beijing’s directive. A few days ago, the U.S. arrested Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and transported him to the U.S. for trial on drug trafficking charges. There are signs that Maduro’s departure could hurt China’s ability to import crude oil from the Latin American country. (Full article – Subscription needed.)

And where does the American company Nvidia get their AI chips from in the first place?

Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.

How difficult do you think it would be for China to seize Taiwan’s airports and put a naval blockade around Taiwan to stop them from exporting these AI chips to the U.S.??

And remember, a significant portion of the U.S. Navy is in the Caribbean right now around Venezuela.

Representative Jason Crow, Democrat of Colorado, said of the administration’s plan for Venezuela, “It’s like they’ll wave a magic wand and things will turn out the way they want.”

Mr. Crow, a former Army Ranger, said that in a congressional briefing, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave no indication how long the deployment of 15,000 troops and a dozen warships to the Caribbean — the largest naval flotilla in the region since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 — would last or how much it would cost.

And I have not even addressed what is going on in the Middle East right now, or Ukraine, where U.S. military forces have assets tied up.

Meanwhile back in MAGA land, they are still upset that Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, as they cheer the end of the drug cartel trade in Venezuela by removing Maduro.
