Donald Trump's Venezuela Oil Deal and Midterm Strategy
Jason Calacanis presents a "3x3" media analysis focusing on President Donald Trump's announcement of a deal to take control of 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil. Canadian Premier Doug Ford and Senator Ted Cruz offer differing perspectives on the geopolitical implications and the necessity of free elections in Venezuela. Curry argues the deal is a midterm ploy to lower gas prices despite the technical difficulty of processing heavy Venezuelan crude.
