understand the deal now, the US essentially gets three big things.
They get a piece of this company, they get cheaper access to oil, and then they get substantial control over where that oil goes.
And this is where the president says it's really going to translate to tangible benefits to Americans.
And he says it's going to be very soon, which is something that experts tell us is impossible.
But the White House has been celebrating this deal as a huge success.
We've seen the State Department, Marco Rubio, everyone insisting that this is not just great for Americans economically, but for national security.
out of almost three decades of this socialist government, which built itself on oil, and that, you know, it it's only for the benefit of the Venezuelan people.
And Venezuela's constitution says that the country's reserves belong to the state and they can't be transferred to a foreign government, to a private company.
They belong to the state and they should be administering this.
So, of course, now a lot of people are saying that you know this really does appear to be in conflict with the constitution what Trump and Rodriguez have agreed to.
But also, just as importantly, one of the biggest issues hanging over all of this is that the government that is agreeing to this was never elected.
She's only being kept there because Trump likes her, because the US backs her.
But again, she was not elected, and not only was she not elected, but the current government is considered illegitimate by much of the international community.
At this point, the Rodriguez government is only trying to keep itself in power.
The way that it was put to me by White House officials was, you know, we informed her this was happening.
She is cooperative.
But as for Rodriguez, you know, she is selling this to the public as, you know, huge amounts of investments, big number of jobs, and that this is going to be really critical for them to see benefits.
But, you know, ultimately what's happening is that she is going to do whatever the
Trump officials tell her to do.
Exactly.
