Mennään ensimmäiseen kysymykseen sinulle, Tasumi. Ensimmäinen kysymys on melko selkeä. Miksi tämän rauhan tapahtui? Miksi Donald Trump saati Venäjällä presidenttiä? Kyllä, se on tärkeä kysymys. Meillä on muutama vastaus siihen kysymykseen. Presidentin Trumpin puheenjohtaja, Marko Rubio, sanoi, että he katsoivat Nicolás Maduroa rauhanvaihtoehtoisen organisaatioon, joka oli yksinkertaisesti rauhanvaihtoehto.

Yhdysvaltain puheenjohtaja sanoi, että he olivat perustaneet kaksi rauhanvaikutusorganisaatiota, Tren de Aragua ja Cartel de los Soles, Rauhanvaikutusorganisaatio. Siksi he sanoivat, että Nicolás Maduro, jonka he arvioivat olevan puheenjohtajana, vaikuttaisi rauhanvaikutuksia Yhdysvaltain puheenjohtajana.

That was the official justification they gave for why there was a direct threat to the United States. As a result of that we saw strikes on what the US has said were drug trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela in the Pacific and the Caribbean as well. More than 30 strikes, more than 100 people killed.

Sen jälkeen presidentti Trump oli myös muuttunut näkökulmasta. Hän alkoi puhua Venäjällä öljyä. Hän sanoi, että öljy ja maa on rikottu. Tämä ei ole selkeä, mitä hän tarkoittaa rikottuista maista, mutta rikottuista öljyä. Hän puhui Venäjällä suurista öljynsivuista ja amerikkalaisista yrityksistä, jotka olivat aiemmin iso osa

of extracting that oil from Venezuela and processing it. When Venezuela nationalized the oil companies, a few American companies that were involved in that process lost out a lot of money. And this is what President Trump is talking about when he says those companies need to be reimbursed.

Last but not least, it's important to say that the Trump administration has cracked down on migration as well, migration across the southern border. In the last few years, Venezuelans have made up a big part of the people who have been flowing across the US southern border into the United States. President Trump has claimed that those are drug traffickers, but there is not proof that the vast majority of those who have entered are drug traffickers. Regardless, they want to stop that flow as well.

Tämä on kysymys, jonka moni julkaisuus on kysynyt presidentti Trumpille. Meillä ei ole vielä selkeää kuvia. Me ymmärrämme, että presidentti Trump ja hänen hallituksensa haluavat voittaa Venäjällä puolustusjärjestölle, Delsi Rodríguezille, sitä, mitä hän tekee. He haluavat, että hän sopii muutaman tärkeän vaikutuksen. Kuten mainitsin, he haluavat, että droogitarkkaukset pysyvät. He haluavat myös, että Yhdysvaltojen yritykset voivat mennä Venäjälle ja taistella öljyä uudestaan.

They've also talked about clamping down on the flow of migration. But really how that will look is not clear. President Trump has said he's not afraid of boots on the ground again. There could be further U.S. military intervention if the interim president doesn't comply. But right now it looks like creating a U.S.-friendly government in Venezuela that will meet the Trump administration's demands.

He certainly have. Look, what's important to know is that Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world at around 303 billion barrels. Its oil capacity is completely underutilized. That's because of endemic corruption and also a lack of investment for many years here.

President Trump has been very clear. He sees Venezuela as really a vast source of potential for American oil companies to reap the benefits of those oil resources here in Venezuela. In fact, the Washington Post had even reported that President Trump informed oil companies before and after that operation to remove Nicolas Maduro from power in Venezuela.

He didn't notify Congress, but did, according to the Washington Post, notify those oil companies. So really interesting to see that this has been a massive focus of President Trump. Although we originally talked about drug trafficking and migration, it is clear that being part of Venezuela's oil industry is a massive factor in why President Trump has engaged with Venezuela militarily.

On tärkeää tietää, että Greenland on maailman suurimmilta mineraaleiluilta, joita USA haluaisi käyttää, eli uraniumia ja rautaa. Mutta presidentti Trumpi sanoi, että se ei ole mineraalilta, vaan kansalliseen turvallisuuteen. Kuten Pauli juuri kertoi, se on nähty, että se on tärkeä maa strategisella ja militärisellä. Presidentti Trumpi sanoi, että ruotsalaiset ja ruotsalaiset voivat olla kaikkialla Greenlandissa.

He see it as important for the US to own, to be able to gain that access militarily as well. It is important to note as well that NATO military alliance, of course the US knows it is the biggest provider to that military alliance. President Trump therefore sees it as within the US's purview to own an important piece of being strategically ready. If you look at how the US is now viewing the world in Donald Trump's second term,

As this being part of the US's sphere of influence, President Trump sees Greenland as necessary to be part of the US in order for the US to be secure, even if that means angering allies like Denmark.
