Alaska and Texas would be better places to meet.
Had enough yet?
Embarrassing, they’ll do anything but let us supply our own oil.
Venezuelan Oil is the thickest garbage oil and do they still produce Oil ? Oh wait the Biden Admin will help get everything going again
Cutting domestic oil production for climate change is working out so well for us.
Biden, hat in hand, pleading with the socialist/commie thug to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. Madness.
Fixed.
It will be curious to see how this is received in Latinamerica.
Burning communist oil doesn’t cause global warming. It’s science!
What’s the difference between buying it from Venezuela and buying it from Russia?
Drill in the US, dammit!
And Biden is not doing this to help American consumers, he is doing this to help the Eurotrash.

Don’t we still have a few Americans being held prisoner in Venezuela?
I recall around May of 2020 two Americans were captured when a plot to kill Ven. President Maduro unraveled.
Has any thought been given to try transfering these two men back to American soil?
So they can hasten the adaptation of EVs, never let a crisis go to waste.
U.S. is totally schizo. Just a couple years ago, Bolton and the neo-cons were trying to overthrow Maduro and of course screwed it up. Now the Dems flat out reward him because Russia invaded Ukraine. Is Iran nuked up next week?
Umm, Joe and ho, Keystone? Hell we could truck it in.
Canadian oil reaches the Pacific by pipeline and train, can be shipped to west coast ports or easily sent on to western WA by a number of different means. At least for any emergency period.
The Biden Admin is the dumbest Admin ever , ever time the Dems come to power they get dumber and dumber
I can’t believe these goofy MFs
Oh, good grief. Can Venezuela even supply anybody with oil anymore?
