Inside Maduro's Jail & Trump's Oil Plan Makes No Sense

from NEWSGIRLS · host NEWSGIRLS

The Newsgirls take you to the Metropolitan Detention Center where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is currently being held. They break down why this jail is called “hell on earth,” how the DOJ botched Maduro’s charges, and his old life of mansions and private jets. Then, they sit down with leading Petroleum analyst Patrick de Haan from Gas Buddy to break down Trump’s plan to take over Venezuela’s oil. Is taking 30-50 billion barrels of oil a day even possible? Is China, Venezuela's biggest oil partner, pissed? And what is going to happen at Trump’s meeting with oil executives this Friday?
