US to Control Venezuela for 'Much Longer' Than One Year, Says Trump"I would say, much longer," the US president told a US newspaper when asked how long his country would maintain control over oil-rich Venezuela. Trump also said that he would like to visit Venezuela in the future when "it'll be safe."The US, while controlling Venezuela, intends to use the oil of the country, but lower its prices and give money to the Bolivarian Republic, the president added. "We will rebuild it in a very profitable way… We're going to be using oil, and we're going to be taking oil. We're getting oil prices down, and we're going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need," Trump stated. At the same time, Trump, who launched a military operation against Caracas that resulted in the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3, admitted that it would take years to restore Venezuela's oil sector.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
