Trump on Venezuela:
'We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe proper & judicious transition... [and] have our very large [US] oil companies... go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken . . . oil infrastructure & start making money for the country... [and we'll be] reimbursed for everything that we spend'!

What's fascinating is how quickly he's pivoted from drugs to oil as his actions's central point.
