Attack of the Fanboy
President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States has taken in more than $13 billion from Venezuelan oil revenue.
Recommended VideosAccording to a Financial Times report published late last week, the U.S. has placed roughly $13 billion of Venezuela’s oil revenue into a U.S. Treasury account.
When a reporter asked Trump where the seized Venezuelan funds have gone, he did not give a direct answer.
Trump’s comments on Iranian oil money follow separate reporting on how the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports has affected Iran’s ability to export oil.
The Financial Times report noted that the Trump administration has offered limited public accounting of the Venezuelan funds since the January operation.
