Is Trump Wrong For Keeping Seized Venezuelan Oil?


Yes

He is.


No

He isn’t.

The Trump administration has defended its decision to retain Venezuelan oil seized under U.S. sanctions, arguing that the assets should not be returned to a hostile socialist regime tied to corruption, human rights abuses, and adversarial foreign powers. Supporters say the move protects American leverage and prevents U.S. resources from indirectly aiding anti-American governments, while critics argue it could escalate tensions or set a risky precedent. With energy security and foreign policy both at stake, many Americans are weighing whether President Trump made the right call. What’s your view?
