The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure. Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes. At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Earlier, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/venezuela\" data-link-name=\"in body link\"
