US President Donald Trump announced that the United States will leave Iran, unless Washington decides to keep the country's oil, comparing this possibility to the situation in Venezuela. This statement was made in the context of discussions about the US military and strategic presence in Iran.
Trump also referred to Venezuela, stating that the country is no longer talked about as much, and that the United States received billions of dollars from that country. According to the President, that money was used to pay for the costs of various wars.
Regarding Venezuela, Trump stated that he still does not see conditions for holding elections in the country, demonstrating skepticism about the Venezuelan political situation at the moment.
Trump's statements come in a context of international tension and reassessment of the US presence in various points around the globe, with the President suggesting that leaving Iran may depend on economic considerations related to the country's oil resources.
