Jorge Rodríguez reiterated that Donald Trump’s intention is to appropriate natural resources, an issue that, he said, “has generated such indignation in the people of Venezuela, that today more than ever we are ready to defend our land (…) We already know what the plan is, don’t come to me again about the issue of drugs.”
The president of the National Assembly, Jorge Rodríguez, stated this Wednesday the 17th that they do not want “a war for oil” with the United States, following Donald Trump’s order to block sanctioned ships entering and leaving Venezuela, but they are willing to “fight” in case an aggression against the country takes place.
«Venezuela has never entered into a war with any country in the world, other than our war of liberation and independence; We are people of peace, we did not put that criminal fleet there (in the Caribbean). We do not want a war for oil, but rest assured that we are going to fight, we are not going to give up,” Rodríguez warned during an extraordinary session.
In the session, the deputies approved an agreement where they pointed out Trump’s statements as “uncontrolled” and “extravagant.” They also pointed out the blockade as a “colonialist” measure that violates international law.
Donald Trump’s announcement, made on the Truth Social network, was accompanied by threats of greater US military deployment in the Caribbean. He assured that the pressure will continue “until they return to the United States all the oil, land and other assets that were previously stolen from us.”

«Here is Donald Trump’s confession, with the audacity that characterizes him. He says until they return all the oil to the United States, lands that were previously stolen from us. Now it turns out that the oil belongs to the gringos. Article 12 of the Constitution says that the resources belong to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. They are public domain assets and, therefore, inalienable and imprescriptible,” Rodríguez pointed out.
He reiterated that Donald Trump’s intention is to appropriate natural resources, an issue that, he said, “has generated such indignation in the people of Venezuela, that today more than ever we are ready to defend our land (…) We already know what the plan is, don’t come to me and talk to me about the issue of drugs again.”
He also referred to the opposition leader María Corina Machado, whom he described as “genocidal” and “serial killer.” He accused her of promoting blockades and economic sanctions against the country.
“What a shame! Poor Nobel, poor peace. Shame on you, Norway! What a stain on the figure of Alfred Nobel, to give a genocide the Nobel Peace Prize. She said at a press conference in Oslo that 60% of the Venezuelan population works for drug cartels. 18 million Venezuelans, the plebs, not their family,” he said.
Likewise, he said that Machado intends to deliver the oil and the rest of the country’s natural resources to the United States if a regime change takes place. “Go call your mother’s c**k a drug dealer, María Corina Machado,” he said.
