Meeting comes after Trump said he called off “second wave of attacks” on Venezuela
Just after 4 a.m. this morning, the president announced on Truth Social that he has “cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks” on Venezuela, at least for now.
The president cited apparent cooperation from the country’s new regime, which he said is “releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of ‘Seeking Peace.'”
Still, he said, “all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes.”
Trump apologizes to oil execs that more can’t join meeting
Writing on Truth Social ahead of the meeting, the president said it’s “too bad” the ballroom he’s building isn’t finished yet “because, if it were, it would be PACKED.”
“We apologize to those Oil Companies that we cannot take today, but Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, will see them over the next week,” he wrote. “Everyone is in daily contact. Today’s meeting will almost exclusively be a discussion on Venezuelan Oil, and our longterm relationship with Venezuela, its Security, and People.”
“A very big factor in this involvement will be the reduction of Oil Prices for the American People,” he added. “Additionally, and perhaps most importantly of all, will be the stoppage of Drugs and Criminals coming into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
