Fetterman: Venezuela operation ‘a good thing’

President Trump said he informed nearly all major U.S. oil companies before the military operation that led to Maduro's arrest, raising questions about Congressional notification.

  • Sunday aboard Air Force One, Trump said he spoke with 'basically' all oil companies before U.S. forces arrested Maduro, replying 'Before and after' when asked about tipping them off.
  • Trump argued companies haven’t invested in Venezuela for years, citing decayed infrastructure, while Monaldi said restoring output from one million barrels per day to four million will take a decade and a hundred billion dollars.
  • Chevron reportedly revised its statement and ConocoPhillips said it was monitoring developments, while The National News Desk received few responses from American oil companies, some declining to speculate on investments.
  • Critics and lawmakers split, with some condemning and others praising the action, as legal experts including Oona Hathaway called for impeachment, while U.S. lawmakers urged Congress to reassert authority and praised U.S. military personnel.
  • Industry analysts warn that U.S. oil majors face political uncertainty and sanctions, while opponents caution that Congress did not authorize the operation, threatening international stability and sovereignty.
