He just did it the way he wanted to, to artificially inflate his number.

Venezuela does not have three hundred and three billion barrels of recoverable oil.
voice-verified
It's it's not a thing.
voice-verified
That's ever going to be a thing.

voice-verified
Like so Venezuela is just sending oil to China for years to try to cover their debts.
voice-verified
And really not not not making a dent in any of them.
