I hope not. Perhaps it has to do with constructing infrastructure to process their oil? I read that they have oil but it is different and our refineries must be adjusted to process it. Also a lot of their ports are in need of repair to fill tanker cargo ships.
This is true - most of their oil is basically like tar. However they do have one area that has light sweet crude, although I don't know how much they have.
We can process their dirty oil, but if a demon ever gets back into power they would shut it down. It is probably a good idea to help them setup a good refinery now, just in case.
I thought VZ already had refineries to refine their tar crude ... they were shut down due to lack of people with experience running and maintaining them. They may not be a total loss ... just in need of maintenance to bring them back online.
Quite possible - My uncle worked for Shell back in the day and spent a ton of time down there. I'd ask him but he passed a good decade ago (brain tumor).
So are we plundering their country?
Doesn't sound like feudal tribute. Sounds like the gold was purchased.
I don't think so. Why would they put Trump statues otherwise.
Maybe Fort Knox or some gold international gold depository
We probably paid,full market value.
They are happy because they recived much less under the trade embargo.

We do have some refineries that do it already, just not likely that many. I know one such company was mentioned initially but not sure on the capacity
