Trump’s Influence: Larry Kudlow on Shaping History Towards Freedom

Trump is bending the arc of history toward freedom.

Today’s White House meeting with President Trump and America’s leading oil companies marks a significant milestone in a process that began last weekend. This was when the narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro and his communist wife were forcibly removed through an extraordinary military operation, ultimately landing them in a Brooklyn jail.

And let’s not forget that Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries hail from Brooklyn, right?

I refer to this development as the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, which prohibits foreign powers from exerting significant influence in the Western Hemisphere. Over the past ten days, I have emphasized that Trump’s strategic actions are reshaping history to halt the spread of communism across the Americas. Notably, during today’s meeting, President Trump stated that while China and Russia can purchase oil from Venezuela, they must do so through the United States, presumably at market prices rather than the discounted rates previously offered to their communist allies.

Every drop of oil produced in Venezuela is now under U.S. control. The interception of Russian tankers off the Venezuelan coast is a critical development. Venezuela has already set aside a 30 million-barrel tranche, which could increase to 50 million and eventually 100 million. The proceeds from these oil sales will be funneled into a fund managed by the White House, where President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others will oversee disbursements. From now on, Venezuela will only purchase American-made products, including agricultural goods, medicines, medical devices, and energy infrastructure, as stated on Mr. Trump’s Truth Social.

Currently, Delcy Rodriguez, the acting president, and her brother Jorge Rodriguez, who leads the National Assembly, are maintaining a low profile. However, the stability of their government remains a concern for oil executives contemplating new investments. They are eager to support Mr. Trump, recognizing the stakes involved. Interestingly, they can operate profitably at $50 a barrel, which aligns with President Trump’s target. Yet, as he noted, any transition to democracy must be “stable, proper, and judicious.”

Oil executives are keen to understand the regulatory landscape and overall security situation. Chevron holds the largest stake and could potentially increase production from 50,000 barrels a day to as much as 200,000. With both state-run and private oil firms, the output could reach a million barrels per day, up from approximately 800,000.

However, this narrative extends beyond oil. The real focus is on expelling Russia and China from our hemisphere, effectively isolating Cuba, and potentially contributing to the downfall of the Iranian regime as protests in Tehran intensify.

Let me reiterate: Mr. Trump is indeed bending the arc of history toward freedom. That is the essence of this endeavor.
