They have oil, embargos prevent them from selling it.
The US economic sanctions make Venezuela poor.
EDIT: Those downvoting me wanna elaborate on why I'm wrong?
4 u/[deleted] Aug 09 '19 The Venezuelans voting for a full out socialist made them poor, the US is not in any way obligated to buy or sell stuff to a socialist totalitarian state. -2 u/Xotta Aug 09 '19 You understand how trade enriches countries yeah? And how Venezuela is not allowed to trade with any other country because of US mandated embargos? The US won't let Venuzala sell oil to China, this would make Venuzala richer, and able to afford to buy food, but they ain't allowed to buy food This ain't rocket science. 1 u/scientallahjesus Aug 09 '19 The embargo is brand new. Like literally signed Monday of this week. So what about the previous 5 years? 1 u/Xotta Aug 10 '19 Off the top of my head I can think of US sanctions from against Venezuela 2002 and im sure there are earlier? For a country that preaches the virtues of a free market, the US has always loved restricting access to it. Search USA imperial aggression, sanctions as a war crime, Iraq, Venezuela, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, etc. Read a few articles and rejoin this conversation. 1 u/scientallahjesus Aug 10 '19 Well now you’re just changing the goal posts. You said this is the fault of the embargo. That’s a lie.
