Venezuela’s natural resources never belonged to the United States.
While there have been charges of expropriation, which have been arbitrated in an international tribunal, there is no basis for arguing that Venezuela’s oil was stolen from the United States.

Trump's blockade against Venezuela is for "our oil." Experts say it isn't the US's to take.
