- President Trump indicated the US could oversee Venezuela and its oil resources for an extended period, potentially years.
- He stated the US intends to extract Venezuelan oil to lower prices and provide financial aid to the country.
- Trump defended his recognition of Delcy Rodriguez and views the US operation to seize Maduro as a success.

A: Hey! Did you hear about what Trump said? It's pretty crazy!

B: No way! What happened? Tell me!

A: Okay, so he basically thinks the US might be running Venezuela and getting its oil for a *long* time. Like, years!

B: Seriously? Years?! Wow. That’s a big commitment. He didn’t say exactly how long, did he?

A: Nope! When they asked him if it would be months or a year, he just said “much longer!”

B: That’s… intense. He’s really into Venezuela’s oil, isn’t he?

A: Totally! He said they'll be using the oil, taking it, and it’ll lower prices. Apparently, they'll also give money to Venezuela too.

B: So, he’s recognizing this new leader, Delcy Rodriguez, too? She used to be with Maduro.

A: Yeah, he says they're "getting along very well." It's a bit awkward, right?

B: Definitely! It sounds like he’s more excited about the *idea* of taking over Venezuela than planning what to do *after* that.

A: Exactly! He wouldn't even say what would make him send US troops there!



B: Wow. Just… wow. What a situation!
