Former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that China consider purchasing oil from Venezuela, saying that the United States is currently in a favorable position in its relations with Caracas. The remark came against the backdrop of a shift in American energy policy, which now envisions selling Venezuelan oil at market prices with significant U.S. control over export flows, aimed at redirecting revenues from the oil sector. China, historically one of the main buyers of Venezuelan crude, has already purchased several shipments of U.S.-managed oil, signaling a reconfiguration of energy alliances. Trump linked these developments to his policy of military strengthening and international expansion, emphasizing the might of the American armed forces.
