    There is a good chance US companies spin their wheels for the next few years until Trump croaks and everyone forgets any of this ever happened. They can’t use this oil after all, it cannot be refined in most (if not all, I am not sure about all) US refineries.

    She may be betting on that.

        Yea. Not ideal by any means, but Venezuela sadly didn’t heavily invest in ballistic missile technology 40 odd years ago.

          Well, to add to the other points made about simply outlasting Trump, the USA is also getting mauled by Iran, so that’s additional pressure in the form of somebody’s ballistic missiles
