Trump ne Venezuela se U.S. Oil Assets ka Paisa Maanga, ‘Blockade’ Call ke Baad Tanaav Tez
America aur Venezuela ke beech tensions ek baar phir badh gaye hain. Former US President Donald Trump ne khulkar demand ki hai ki Venezuela un U.S. oil assets ka paisa chukaye, jo saalon pehle American companies se seize kar liye gaye the. Trump ne is demand ko justify karte hue Venezuela ke khilaaf oil tankers par “blockade” ki baat bhi dohraayi.
Ye statement 17 December 2025 ko aaya, jab Trump apni administration ke Nicolás Maduro sarkar par pressure campaign ko aur aggressive bana rahe hain.
Trump ka Arop: “Unhone Hamare Oil Rights Chheen Liye”
Trump ne reporters se baat karte hue kaha ki Venezuela ne U.S. energy companies ke oil rights illegally seize kar liye the.
Unke shabdon mein,
“They took all of our energy rights. They took our oil. And we want it back.”
Trump ka kehna hai ki oil tankers jo sanctioned Venezuelan oil le ja rahe hain, unhe aage badhne nahi diya jaayega. Isi wajah se kuch tankers pehle hi Venezuela se divert hona shuru ho chuke hain.
Venezuela Aur U.S. Oil Dispute Ki Background
Ek time tha jab U.S. oil companies Venezuela ke petroleum sector par dominate karti thi.
Lekin:
- 1970s mein pehli baar oil industry nationalise hui
- Phir Hugo Chávez aur baad mein Nicolás Maduro ke under foreign companies ko bahar ka rasta dikhaaya gaya
Compensation ko American companies ne insufficient bataya.
2014 mein ek international arbitration panel ne Venezuela ko ExxonMobil ko $1.6 billion dene ka order diya tha, lekin experts ke mutabik ye amount abhi tak fully pay nahi hua.
Drug Trafficking Aur Oil Funding Ka Arop
Trump administration ka kehna hai ki Venezuela:
- Oil revenues ka use drug trafficking aur criminal activities ke liye kar raha hai
- Maduro sarkar par narcoterrorism ke charges bhi lag chuke hain
Trump ne social media par bhi claim kiya ki oil money se crimes fund kiye ja rahe hain. Isi context mein U.S. forces ne haal hi mein Venezuela ke coast ke paas ek oil tanker seize kiya.
Military Pressure Aur Legal Sawal
Pichhle hafte:
- U.S. Navy ne region mein massive military buildup kiya
- Caribbean aur eastern Pacific mein alleged drug boats par strikes hue
- In actions mein 95 se zyada logon ki maut ki reports hain
Is par lawmakers aur legal experts ne sawal uthaye hain ki kya in actions ka legal justification hai. Trump ne ye bhi signal diya hai ki wo land strikes par bhi vichaar kar rahe hain.
White House Ka Strong Narrative: ‘Stolen American Wealth’
Trump ke deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller ne Venezuela ke oil nationalisation ko ek “heist” bataya.
Unka kehna hai ki:
- American mehnat aur technology se Venezuela ka oil sector bana
- Usse seize karke terrorism aur drugs ko fund kiya gaya
Economist Philip Verleger ke mutabik, Venezuela par ExxonMobil ka legal claim abhi bhi banta hai.
Chevron Ko Relief, Baaki Companies Par Asar
Interesting baat ye hai ki Chevron ko abhi bhi Venezuela mein oil production continue karne ki special waiver mili hui hai.
Experts kehte hain ki:
- Venezuela ka Chevron ke liye debt kaafi kam ho chuka hai
- Exact figures public nahi hain
Venezuela Ka Response: ‘American Piracy’
Venezuela ne U.S. actions ko “piracy” kaha hai.
President Nicolás Maduro ne:
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres se baat ki
- UN Charter aur international law ka hawala diya
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil ne UN Security Council ko letter likhkar:
- Seized tanker ke crew ko release karne
- Oil wapas karne
- Aur U.S. actions ki ninda karne ki maang ki
‘Blockade’ Par Confusion, Terror Tag Par Bhi Clarity Nahi
Trump ke “Venezuelan Regime ko terrorist organisation” bolne par bhi confusion raha.
U.S. officials ne clear kiya ki:
- Ye statement figure of speech tha
- Official terror list mein koi change nahi hua
Blockade ka matlab bhi sirf pehle se sanctioned vessels tak limited bataya gaya hai.
Conclusion
अमेरिका और वेनेजुएला के बीच तेल को लेकर टकराव एक बार फिर गंभीर हो गया है। ट्रंप की सख्त भाषा, टैंकरों की जब्ती और ब्लॉकेड की चेतावनी से हालात और तनावपूर्ण हो सकते हैं। वेनेजुएला अंतरराष्ट्रीय कानून की बात कर रहा है, जबकि अमेरिका इसे निवेश और सुरक्षा का मुद्दा बता रहा है। आने वाले दिनों में यह विवाद कूटनीति से सुलझेगा या और बढ़ेगा, इस पर पूरी दुनिया की नजर रहेगी।
