Tucker Carlson: fool or acting? Trump was always a warmongering Zionist con man

Military strikes and economic sanctions shaped **Donald Trump**'s foreign policy during his first term, with consequences in **Syria** and **Venezuela**.

## Military intervention in Syria

During his first term, the **Donald Trump** administration authorized bombings in **Syria**. In **2016**, attacks were carried out against the regime of **Bashar al-Assad**. They were repeated in **2018**, intensifying American involvement in the Syrian conflict. In one of these episodes, **Trump** ordered the killing of **Qasem Soleimani**, commander of Iran's Quds Force, which triggered an Iranian retaliation against a US base.

## Sanctions on Venezuela

**Donald Trump**'s policy toward **Venezuela** was defined by the imposition of economic sanctions. More than **1,000** measures were applied that severely damaged the country's oil capacity. Venezuelan production fell from **1.5 million** barrels per day in **2019** to less than **0.4 million** in **2020**. In addition, Venezuelan assets in the United States, such as **Citgo**, were embargoed, which has been cited as an additional factor in the rise of fuel prices in the US.

## Russia's influence

**Trump**'s foreign policy in **Syria** was also marked by the relationship with **Russia**. Dozens of Russian soldiers were reported killed in clashes in **Syria**, revealing an underlying tension between the two countries despite negotiations. **Trump**'s stance in the region, especially his alignment with **Israel**, was considered an unbreakable red line, even when facing **Vladimir Pilingui**.
