‘Kick Out China & Russia… Or Else’: Trump WARNS Venezuela’s New President | Maduro-Style Action If.. - video Dailymotion

Global tensions are erupting after Donald Trump warned Venezuela’s new leadership to cut all military and economic ties with China and Russia — or face the same fate as former president Nicolás Maduro. Washington is demanding the expulsion of Chinese and Russian advisors and linking future U.S. oil cooperation to a full geopolitical break from Beijing and Moscow.    But Venezuela is trapped — owing billions to China and deeply dependent on Russian oil and military support. Meanwhile, China and Russia are warning that forcing Venezuela to choose sides could spark a dangerous new proxy conflict in the Americas. With U.S. oil deals, massive debts, and global power rivalry colliding — Venezuela may be on the brink of its biggest geopolitical crisis yet.    #TrumpWarnsVenezuela #VenezuelaCrisis #ChinaRussiaVenezuela #USVenezuelaTensions #TrumpVsChina #TrumpVsRussia #VenezuelaOilCrisis #GeopoliticalShowdown #ProxyWarRisk #BreakingNews #USForeignPolicy #VenezuelaNews #ChinaVenezuelaDebt #RussiaVenezuelaTies #USOilDeal #TrumpForeignPolicy #LatinAmericaTensions #GlobalPowerStruggle  ~HT.410~ED.194~

00:00So, the United States just told Venezuela's new leadership, kick out China and Russia or we treat

00:24you like Maduro. Yeah, that's the hook. Let's unpack what's really going on here.

00:32On January 3rd, 2026, the U.S. carried out a military operation that captured former Venezuelan

00:41president Nicolas Maduro. And after that operation, the Trump administration laid out a new deal,

00:49normalize relations, open the door to oil, but first cut ties with China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.

00:59Which sounds simple, except it really isn't. Because what the U.S. is asking for isn't just

01:07a diplomatic shift, it's a total geopolitical realignment. Venezuela would have to expel

01:14foreign advisors and joint oil projects and shut out the very countries keeping its economy alive.

01:23And all of this is being presented to interim president Delce Rodriguez, who, by the way,

01:30used to be Maduro's vice president. So why is the U.S. pushing this so hard?

01:36Think of Venezuela as a massive oil vault. It has the largest proven oil reserves in the world,

01:44nearly 300 billion barrels. But under Maduro and heavy U.S. sanctions, Venezuela turned to China and

01:54Russia for survival, loans, military support, oil deals, political backing. And that created something

02:02Washington hates. America's arrivals gaining influence in America's backyard. So now, with Maduro gone,

02:12Washington sees a reset button. But here's the problem. Venezuela is deeply, and I mean deeply,

02:20financially tied to China. Since 2007, China has poured in over $60 billion in loans. Venezuela still owes

02:30between $10 and $19 billion. And most of that debt is repaid in oil. Right now, around 80% of Venezuela's

02:41oil exports go to China. So if Venezuela kicks China out, the money stops, the oil stops, the repayments stop.

02:51And suddenly, you're looking at defaults, lawsuits, asset seizures, frozen tankers,

02:57maybe even oil refineries abroad, getting targeted in court. Russia is also in the mix, but in a more

03:06strategic way. Oil joint ventures, military advisors, equipment, loans tied to projects.

03:15So, add it all up, Venezuela sits on $150 to $170 billion of external debt, one of the highest debt

03:25loads in the world. So when the U.S. says, yeah, just cut China and Russia loose, they're really saying,

03:33walk away from the only lifelines keeping your economy from total collapse. And that brings us

03:40to the other side of the story. China and Russia won't just shrug and walk away. China could push for

03:48repayment, seize overseas assets, shift oil buying elsewhere, or quietly ramp up support for anti-U.S.

03:57governments in Latin America. Russia could pull military support, apply pressure with debt, or step

04:05up covert operations, cyber campaigns, weapons flows, proxy groups. Not a full-scale war, more like

04:14strategic annoyance. So, what does Venezuela do? Right now, interim president Dulce Rodriguez is

04:23calling the U.S. raid military aggression. She's a Maduro loyalist. Her entire political world was built

04:30around Chavista ideology, which is anti-U.S. at its core. Meanwhile, opposition leaders want democracy,

04:39but they don't control the state. So, Venezuela is stuck between two massive forces pulling in opposite

04:47directions. The U.S. says, align with us and we unlock the oil economy. China and Russia say, stay with us

04:56and we keep your system alive. Either choice is destabilizing.
