President of Colombia Petro explained that the actual conflict between the United States and Venezuela is not about drugs, but about oil:
【Let's talk about what is happening near Venezuela】
The reason behind all this is the same as the reason behind the war in Ukraine.
【What is the reason?】
Oil! Venezuela has the world's largest, or nearly the largest, oil reserves. There is "heavy" oil there — please note this definition. Ukraine also has reserves. Anyway, all the wars of this century are somehow related to oil.
Trump did not negotiate with Maduro over drug trafficking issues because he is not a fool. Look at the data — only 4% of the cocaine produced in Colombia (and mainly we are producing it) is exported through Venezuela. Most of it is exported through the Pacific route. Trump was not thinking about democratizing Venezuela, nor about drug trafficking issues.
