President Trump's America First energy policy is already delivering results, with U.S. officials confirming that Communist China will no longer get sweetheart deals on Venezuelan oil under the new administration.
An unnamed U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday that while China can continue purchasing Venezuelan crude, those days of "unfair, undercut" prices are over. Beijing will now have to pay market rates just like everyone else – a stark departure from the cozy arrangements they enjoyed during the Biden years.
This move represents a major shift in how America approaches global energy markets. Instead of allowing our adversaries to benefit from below-market oil prices while American families struggled with high gas costs, the Trump administration is leveling the playing field.
No More Free Rides for Beijing
For too long, China has exploited international markets while undermining American interests. The Chinese Communist Party has been getting discounted Venezuelan oil while simultaneously building up their military and threatening Taiwan. Those days are officially over.
"They can still buy the oil, they just have to pay fair prices for it," the official explained, signaling a new era of economic nationalism that puts American interests first.
This policy change comes as President Trump continues his aggressive push for American energy dominance. While the previous administration hamstrung our domestic energy production with green new deal fantasies, Trump is unleashing American oil and gas while ensuring our competitors don't get unfair advantages.
The move sends a clear message to Beijing: the era of American weakness is over, and China will no longer get preferential treatment at America's expense.
Patriots should celebrate this early victory in Trump's second term. By ending China's sweetheart deals on Venezuelan oil, the administration is proving that America First isn't just a slogan – it's a governing philosophy that puts American workers and American interests ahead of foreign competitors.
How many more unfair deals did China benefit from during the Biden years? And what other advantages will Trump eliminate as he continues draining the swamp of globalist policies?
