Spurring conflict: Venezuela and the US thirst for foreign oil

AI Summary

short article 1 min

In December 2025, tensions rose between Venezuela and the United States due to the US military presence near Venezuelan waters. The presence of the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier off the Venezuelan coast has sparked debate. Some view it as a potential intervention against President Nicolas Maduro, while others see it as US imperialism driven by Venezuela's vast oil reserves. The US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker has further fueled accusations that the US uses its military to protect its oil interests abroad. The situation highlights the ongoing conflict and the historical context of US involvement in foreign oil resources.
