Venezuela to the United States: "You will not have our oil, either given away or stolen."
The White House said yesterday that the US was the founder of the Venezuelan oil industry, and that the nationalization of that industry in Caracas in 1976 was the "biggest robbery" ever committed against Americans.
"You will not have our oil, given away or stolen." That's how Venezuelan Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez responded to the United States today, saying yesterday that the Venezuelan oil industry was created by the United States.
In a message posted on the Telegram social network, Rodriguez has said that "energy relations" will be managed as they have been "freely and independently." "With Nicolas Maduro, we will continue to defend our Homeland. Theft and plundering will not return!" he has written.
According to the vice president, Venezuela's first oil company was founded in 1878 under the name "Petroleum del Tachila" and "only with Venezuelans." "It was a symbol of our industry.
A White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, yesterday claimed that the Venezuelan oil industry was founded by the US and that the nationalization of that industry by Caracas in 1976 was the biggest robbery ever committed by Americans.
X on social media, Miller thus justified the blockade imposed by US President Donald Trump on Venezuelan oil tankers.
