Trump says Venezuela will purchase American products with revenue from oil deal

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Venezuela will purchase American products with revenue from its oil sales.

“I have just been informed that Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal,” Trump said in a post on social media.

Cheat Venezuela on the price they receive for their oil...excuse me "our oil", because they aren't allowed to sell to anyone else, then gouge them on the price of USian goods, because they aren't allowed to buy anywhere else. What sort of "arty" deal would you expect from a USian "JC"? Just like the coal company towns, where the only place to buy anything was at the company store, which charged so much that, no matter how hard you worked, you could never get ahead.

Hmmm, this reminds me of something from our own history.

I'm thinking "Boston tea party".
