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 importance of oil reserves in both nations, stating they surpass those of Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. His comments come amid rising concerns over living costs, with a recent survey indicating that 74% of Americans are worried about fuel prices. The economic situation has become a focal point in the electoral campaign, with many voters disapproving of Trump's handling of the cost of living. Upcoming elections will determine control of Congress, with Republicans aiming to maintain their majority.
