United States has revealed its plan for Venezuela who is currently facing a political crisis as there is no leader governing the nation currently. U.S has said they are going to govern the nation until a someone of good caliber takes over as the leader of Venezuela and a new concept of oil quarantine has emerged. “The U.S. will continue to enforce an oil quarantine/blockade on sanctioned Venezuelan oil tankers and use that leverage to press for policy changes in Venezuela.” Marco Rubio has said.
United States have clarified that they are going to indulge in day-to-day affairs of the country rather apply a oil quarantine and push for policy and political changes as the Nicolas Maduro has been dethroned. Many political thinkers and Venezuelans believe U.S. involvement would be impactful and hidden.
