   Trump states that Venezuela has agreed to a kind of buyout deal with the US   
   regarding the supply of $2 billion in oil. This apparently allows Venezuela to   
   prevent further US intervention? The deal would mean that oil tankers bound   
   for China would now have to sail to the US. Trump is looking on all fronts to   
   see how far he can go. If this deal with Venezuela is real, it means that   
   investments in the US are now under pressure. After all, oil from Venezuela   
   will compete fiercely with the more expensive American extraction.
