Trump stated that there would be no elections in Venezuela within 30 days, saying that they first needed to "fix" the country. Trump, who said, "We must fix the country first," added, "Elections cannot be held. It is not even possible for the people to vote. This will take some time. We need to get the country back on its feet."
"OIL COMPANIES WILL SPEND MONEY"
Trump also mentioned that U.S. oil companies could support efforts to rebuild the country's energy infrastructure, saying, "I think we can do it in a shorter time, but it will require a lot of money.
