Trump put forward three conditions to the current government of Venezuela in one go, and our interests are also affected! On January 6th, according to foreign media reports, Trump proposed a number of demands to the newly appointed leader of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez. These demands mainly include three points. First, severely crack down on drug smuggling activities. Second, expel Iranian, Cuban, and other "agents who hold hostile attitudes towards Washington." Third, stop selling oil to countries that are hostile to the United States.
Evidently, the US's demand for the current government of Venezuela to expel so-called agents who hold hostile attitudes towards Washington essentially aims to weaken the influence of Cuba, Iran, and Russia. As for the third point, stopping the sale of oil to countries that are hostile to the United States, this is worth our high attention. It is clear to everyone that we are currently the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, while both Russia and Iran do not need Venezuelan oil at all.
It is likely that the so-called "hostile countries" mentioned by the US actually have hidden meanings. Of course, more seriously, the US now issues orders to Venezuela in a dominant manner, which means that the US can propose new conditions at any time based on its own needs. For example, it could ask Venezuela to suspend, terminate, or not sign new cooperation agreements with us, or even withdraw from the Belt and Road Initiative, and all these possibilities could happen. Obviously, the new government of Venezuela has accepted the conditions set by the US, but there might be other attitudes, which deserve our close attention.
