President Donald Trump said the US 'hit [Venezuela] so hard' on oil, extracting millions of barrels, and that beyond the earthquake, people are 'happy and dancing in the streets,' according to a quote circulating on Israeli media.
President Donald Trump, in a statement Saturday, attributed the surge in Venezuelan oil output to U.S. pressure, saying the country was 'hit so hard' that oil extraction has now reached millions of barrels. He contrasted the situation with the aftermath of the deadly earthquake that struck Venezuela last week, claiming that people are now celebrating in the streets. The remark, posted by Israeli Telegram channels, echoes Trump's earlier claim on Tuesday that a record 19 million barrels crossed the Strait of Hormuz. The Zioneer reported on Saturday that Trump characterized U.S.-Venezuela relations as 'very good' amid aid flows following the earthquake, which has killed at least 164 people. No additional details were provided by the source.
