Look, I do think that it's right.

I think maybe it was Homeland or someone put out a statement that this clearly appears to be the result of this just months-long rhetoric against law enforcement and people encouraging that kind of violence.

And so we call upon all the citizens of Minneapolis to

to be calm.

We don't want anyone to be hurt.

We need law enforcement to be able to do their jobs.

And it's a terrible situation, but we wait.

And the reason why we understand and believe that we have the strongest leverage possible is our quarantine.

As you've seen today, two more ships were seized.

And we feel very positive that not only will that generate revenue that will be used to the benefit of the Venezuelan people, and we're ensured that that's what the case is, but it also gives us an amount of leverage and influence and control over how this process is done.

They want to be sure that the revenue that comes from the country eventually goes back into Venezuela but also goes to support whatever costs the U.S.

may have incurred.

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.

That money will then be handled in such a way that we will control how it is dispersed in a way that benefits the Venezuelan people, not corruption, not the regime.

So we have a lot of leverage to move on the stabilization front.

There's not a war.

I mean, we are at war against drug trafficking organizations.

It's not a war against Venezuela.

We are enforcing American laws with regards to oil sanctions.
