US President Donald Trump has suggested that Venezuela could become the 51st state of the United States in the future. During a campaign rally in Texas, he also showed off a tanker carrying Venezuelan oil.
The Guardian writes about this, referring to Trump’s speech on October 27.
“Venezuela will become a prosperous country, and who knows? Maybe soon it will become a prosperous 51st state,” the American president said.
Trump also called the deal struck with the Venezuelan government after the removal of former President Nicolas Maduro from power “the biggest victory for the oil industry in history.”
“I want to thank Venezuela, where our relationship has become very, very good, wonderful,” he told supporters at a rally in Corpus Christi, Texas, dedicated to the midterm elections.
In addition, Trump showed off an oil tanker, which, according to him, was carrying one million barrels of Venezuelan oil.
Earlier it was reported that US President Donald Trump announced the conclusion of a “historic” oil deal with Venezuela , which provides for American control over a significant part of its proven reserves. According to American sources, the US will receive 55% in a joint venture, which will be granted a 100-year concession to develop oil fields.
