Trump’s Hint to Oil Executives Weeks Before Maduro Ouster: ‘Get Ready’
President Trump had a vague but tantalizing message for a couple of American oil executives roughly a month before the U.S. captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro: “Get ready.” Big changes were coming to Venezuela, Trump hinted.
Although Trump gave the executives a hint, he didn’t provide them with specific details of the strikes on Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, that unfolded early Saturday, according to people familiar with the matter. Nor did he seek their advice on a plan unveiled the same day to have U.S. energy companies revitalize Venezuela’s dilapidated oil fields with multibillion-dollar investments.
