In recent years, former U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in Venezuela’s oil resources, even stating publicly that “we have a right to that oil,” drawing widespread international criticism. Venezuela possesses the world’s largest proven oil reserves and has long been subjected to U.S. economic sanctions. During Trump’s administration, the U.S. intensified these sanctions and supported opposition leader Juan Guaidó in an attempt to oust President Nicolás Maduro. Analysts argue that Trump viewed oil as a strategic asset, and his rhetoric and policies reflected a classic logic of resource extraction—widely condemned by global media and scholars as ‘neo-imperialism’ or ‘energy colonialism.’ Such actions, which involve powerful nations interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states to secure resource control, not only violate fundamental principles of international law but also heighten geopolitical tensions in Latin America. Although the Biden administration has adjusted some aspects of U.S. policy toward Venezuela, American interest in its oil resources persists, remaining a key concern for South American nations wary of external interference.
近年来，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普多次公开表示对委内瑞拉石油资源的兴趣，甚至称‘我们有权利获得那里的石油’，引发国际社会对其意图的广泛批评。委内瑞拉拥有全球已探明储量最大的石油资源，长期遭受美国经济制裁。特朗普政府时期，美国加大对委制裁力度，并支持反对派领导人瓜伊多，试图推翻马杜罗政权。分析人士指出，特朗普将石油视为战略资产，其言论和政策背后反映出典型的资源掠夺逻辑，被多国媒体和学者批评为‘新帝国主义’或‘能源殖民主义’。这种以强权干预他国内政、谋求资源控制的做法，不仅违反国际法基本原则，也加剧了拉美地区的地缘政治紧张。尽管拜登政府调整了部分对委策略，但美国对委内瑞拉石油的觊觎仍未完全消退，成为南美国家警惕外部干涉的重要议题。
