The US under Rubio via trump is trying to forment a change in government in Venezuela. Why well the rights hand picked new leader tells why. Venezuela has denied the US oil companies the rights to their huge oil reserves instead keeping them for their own people to profit from. In response the US has banned any country from accepting or paying for that oil. leading to the economic disaster in the country. The current leader is respected and devoted into office because he respects the native people, but the republicans demand the profit. Hugs
