Trump Frames Venezuela as Oil Spoils

President Donald Trump touted on Tuesday night that Venezuela’s interim government would turn over billions of dollars worth of oil to the U.S., just days after Nicolás Maduro was toppled. The U.S. plans to sell the oil at market prices, Trump said, adding that he would personally control the proceeds. Meanwhile, administration officials are delivering a bipartisan briefing to senators on the Venezuela action today, which is certain to prompt plenty of reactions once it’s wrapped. Playbook’s Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns discuss the oil equation, plus what Trump really wants to do with Greenland.
