Trump says US will leave Iran unless he decides to "keep the oil" like in Venezuela

Correio da Manhã13 September 2026 at 21:31

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said the US will leave Iran unless he decides to "keep the oil" of the country, in a strategy similar to the one applied in Venezuela.

The statement came when Trump was answering questions about a meeting that will take place on Monday between Oman and Iran, although the article does not provide more details about the content or purpose of that meeting.

The comparison to Venezuela refers to Washington's policy of trying to control Venezuelan oil resources, an approach that the US President now suggests could equally apply to Iran.

The article does not specify what concrete measures Trump intends to take regarding Iran or what conditions could lead him to remain in the country, merely reproducing this statement during a question-and-answer session.

Why this matters

Trump's statement about Iranian oil signals a potential escalation in US-Iran relations, which could affect global energy markets and geopolitical stability in the Middle East region. Readers in the region closely follow these tensions due to the direct impact on oil prices and regional security.

Governor who opposes US military base loses elections to renew term in Okinawa

Governor Denny Tamaki, who opposed the transfer of a US military base within Okinawa, lost the elections to renew his term.
