Donald Trump says "To the victor belong the spoils, right?" about Venezuelan oil shipment

Speaking at a rally at the Port of Corpus Christi, President Donald Trump pointed to a vessel he said was carrying one million barrels of oil from Venezuela and portrayed the shipment as a petroleum win. He said the U.S. had developed a strong relationship with Venezuela after what he called a victory and suggested the country could one day become another U.S. state, with voters electing a governor rather than a president because of its oil resources. The article presents the remarks as part of his push to bring down fuel prices, which it says had risen during the war with Iran. Trump’s comments framed the oil cargo as a benefit of winning.
