Trump claims seized Venezuelan oil has paid for | Political News

President Donald Trump took to the marketing campaign path for Republican consultant Mike Lawler, who faces reelection in what is shaping up to be a contentious midterm election in November.

During his rally, Trump made the declaration that the oil that the U.S. acquired from Venezuela during a navy operation, which noticed the seize of the nation’s then-president, Nicolas Maduro, had “paid for the cost” of the president’s conflict in Iran.

“By the way, how did we do in Venezuela? Not bad,” Trump requested the group, who responded with cheers. “We’ve taken out so much oil in Venezuela, we’ve paid for the cost of the war about 25 times over.”

On Monday, Trump said he was holding off on an assault on Iran deliberate for Tuesday at the request of leaders of Gulf nations, including that “serious negotiations are now taking place.” In a post on Truth Social, he said he had been requested to do so by the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Trump added that the leaders believed a deal can be made that can be “very acceptable” to the U.S. and its allies. He warned, however, that the navy can be ready to enact a “full large-scale assault of Iran” if an “acceptable deal is not reached.”

But he warned the U.S. can be prepared to “go forward with a full, large-scale assault of Iran, on a moment’s notice” if there was no acceptable deal.

On Monday, Iran submitted a response to the latest United States proposal to end the conflict through Pakistan, the mediator. Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told reporters that Tehran’s response to the most current U.S. proposals had been “conveyed to the American side through mediator Pakistan,” the Tasnim news company reported.

Baghaei said Iran’s calls for embrace the unfreezing of its property overseas and the lifting of sanctions. “The points raised are Iranian demands that have been firmly defended by the Iranian negotiating team in every round of negotiations,” he said.

Iran’s calls for define an end to the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, the stoppage of combating in all features, including a cessation of combating in Lebanon, and compensation for conflict damages. Meanwhile, the U.S. has demanded that Tehran end its nuclear program and raise the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

Keane said the Iranian regime desires to “run this clock out” to increase the political and financial stress on Trump. “And they just don’t care about the suffering of people,” he continued.
