Trump says the United States has "total control" over Venezuela

President Trump claimed that the U.S. has "total control" over Venezuela, asserting that this gives the country access to 50% of the world's oil. In an interview, he emphasized the presence of U.S. representatives in Venezuela and highlighted the combined oil reserves of the U.S. and Venezuela. His comments come amid rising concerns over living costs, with a significant increase in fuel prices noted since the onset of the conflict with Iran. Economic issues are central to the upcoming elections, with many voters disapproving of Trump's handling of these matters.
