Trump Funnelling Venezuelan Oil Money to Account in Qatar?

Here’s another piece from Daily Dose of Democracy, reporting how Trump appears to have funnelled money from the sale of Venezuela’s oil to accounts in Qatar. Who’d have thought Trump would personally enrich himself from Maduro’s kidnapping and the seizure of control over the country’s oil. I’m sure that money’s only resting in his account for safety and he’ll pay it back later.

Over the other side of the world, the Iranian revolutionaries attempting to overthrow the theocratic dictatorship are calling on him to come to their aid. If he does, he will be doing the right thing. But they should just remember what happened in Iraq and hang on to their oil, because he’ll definitely want a slice of that. The last democratically elected Prime Minister of Iran, Mossadeq, was overthrown in a CIA-backed royalist coup because he nationalised the country’s oil.

‘Trump is reportedly funneling money from Venezuelan oil sales to a bank account in Qatar
In news surely no one could possibly have seen coming, Donald Trump is now funneling proceeds from the sale of seized Venezuelan oil to a bank account in — wouldn’t you know it — Qatar, according to Semafor. The Trump regime’s first sale of Venezuelan oil was valued at $500 million, and that money is reportedly being held in multiple bank accounts, the biggest of which is in Qatar. A Trump official laughably described Qatar as a neutral location where money can flow freely with US approval and without risk of seizure. Risk of seizure by whom, you might be wondering? Great question! “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, told Semafor. “That is precisely a move that a corrupt politician would be attracted to.” Correct! Friendly reminder that Qatar “gifted” Donald a $400 MILLION luxury jet last year, right around the time Trump’s family business secured a deal to build a luxury golf resort in the petrol state. Any questions?’
