Trump Warns Canada Against Deal With 'Boss' Xi; Asks China To Ditch Russian Crude For Venezuela Oil
U.S. President Donald Trump has stunned global energy markets and rattled North American relations, claiming that India will begin buying Venezuelan oil instead of Iranian or Russian crude — and inviting China to strike a similar deal. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump also issued a sharp warning to Canada, threatening a “very substantial” response if Ottawa moves forward with a trade agreement with China. The moves spotlight a bold new U.S. strategy in oil geopolitics and trade — one that could reshape energy alliances and raise tensions with major world powers.
