US Aggression Near Venezuela is 'Oil Based,' Says Denver Riggleman

US Aggression Near Venezuela is 'Oil Based,' Says Denver Riggleman

Former US Representative Denver Riggleman has stated that the recent increase in US military activity near Venezuela is primarily driven by oil interests, rather than concerns about drug trafficking as claimed by the Trump administration. Riggleman, a Republican, also commented on the divisions within his party, particularly in relation to the Epstein files and the administration's approach to international conflicts. The article suggests that the US is ramping up its aggression in the Latin American region, with Riggleman arguing that the motivation behind these actions is rooted in oil-related interests, rather than the stated concerns about drug trafficking. Riggleman's perspective provides an alternative view to the official narrative presented by the Trump administration, highlighting the potential political and economic factors at play in the region.
