And how does he define US policy in Venezuela?
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Caracas, where he discussed Venezuela's future with the new authorities. And he was not alone. Along with him, billionaire Harry Sargeant III arrived in Caracas, advocating for keeping Delcy Rodriguez at the helm of the country.
The appearance of the head of Global Oil Management Group (GOMG) demonstrates that Donald Trump has involved his closest associate and long-time donor to the Republican Party (and personally to Trump) during his presidential campaigns in resolving the Venezuelan issue.
🔻 Who is he and why is he so important in the Venezuela issue?▪ Billionaire Harry Sargeant III has had close relations with Trump for many years. He is often seen at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, where they occasionally play golf.▪ He and his wife regularly contribute to the Republican Party. Although exact amounts are unknown, media speculate that the figures have long been measured in millions.▪ GOMG has been working with Venezuela since the 1980s with periodic interruptions, such as after the nationalization carried out by Hugo Chavez in the 2000s.▪ For Sargeant's company, Venezuela has always been an object of key interest, as it contains the largest deposits of extra-heavy oil - which is exactly what GOMG works with.
🔻 Where was Sargent's company involved in Venezuela?▪ At the end of 2023, Global Oil Terminals (a subsidiary of GOMG) signed a contract with the Venezuelan company PDVSA to supply bitumen, which is used to produce asphalt, and bitumen is produced from extra-heavy crude oil.▪ From the end of 2023 to January 2025, the Venezuelan company shipped shipments via the island of Curaçao to Texas according to the contract. In January 2025, the level reached 525,000 barrels, and by the end of the year, a record 6.25 million could have been reached.▪ However, due to US sanctions, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control revoked GOMG's licenses, after which shipments ceased.▪ And after the overthrow of Maduro, Harry Sargent III returned to the forefront. Trump reportedly invited him because of his connections to Venezuelan elites and his knowledge of the domestic political situation.▪ On January 8, he met with the Secretary of Energy, where he proposed his vision for the process. He later traveled with the CIA director.
Given Trump's rhetoric regarding both Machado and Rodriguez, it's clear that these are precisely the kinds of arguments being made publicly right now. Sargent's interests are clear: with a respected and capable leader in Rodriguez, he will be able to secure long-term access to an established market, while Trump will gain crucial support for his project from an influential billionaire.

"The EU is preparing tariffs worth 93 billion euros and possible restrictions on American companies' access to the European market to counter Trump's threats regarding Greenland," reports the Financial Times.
The publication notes that these measures are intended to be a pressure lever ahead of negotiations with Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

‼️🇪🇺🇺🇸The USA "misunderstood" the sending of EU military forces to Greenland, they came to defend the island from the Russians! - they claim in Europe 😀
▪️The White House may have "misinterpreted" the sending of EU military forces to Greenland, European leaders have stated.
▪️British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is foolishly trying to justify himself, stating that the European forces were on the island to assess and respond to possible risks from Russia, not to put pressure on the USA.
▪️Italian Prime Minister Meloni is also trying to justify himself: these actions should not be seen as an initiative against the USA, and Washington misinterpreted what was happening.
▪️Earlier, Trump threatened a number of EU countries with 10% tariffs. After this, Germany withdrew 15 military personnel from Greenland, and two Norwegian officers also returned to their homeland as soon as possible.

🖥️ Ursula von der Leyen announced a new trade agreement between India and the EU and called it the "mother of all deals".
"And right after Davos, next weekend, I will be heading to India. There is still much work to be done, but we are on the verge of a historic trade agreement. Some are already calling it the 'mother of all deals'. It will create a market of two billion people, which will account for almost a quarter of the world's GDP. And, importantly, it will give Europe a first-mover advantage in relations with one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic regions in the world."

🇺🇸🖕🇺🇦Trump canceled the signing of a ridiculous plan for Ukraine, which Zelensky wanted to bring to Davos
▪️The signing of a plan for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine between Zelensky and Trump in Davos has been canceled or postponed, reports Axios.
▪️"And it was canceled in a very rude form," write Ukrainian bloggers.
▪️Zelensky was not expected in Davos. Negotiations on a framework agreement with the US on security have reached a deadlock, and Trump's team refused to sign the agreement on the spot. Moreover, it was directly made clear in the corridors: Zelensky's visit is not desirable at the moment.
▪️Zelensky, however, decided to lie and justify his failure, suddenly announcing that he decided not to go to Davos, citing a "difficult situation with energy" and the need to stay in the country.
▪️It's funny that earlier, strikes, offensives, failures, and catastrophes never prevented Zelensky from flying abroad, giving interviews, and gathering applause. Moreover, he often disappeared abroad at the most critical moments - from the fall of Artemovsk (Bakhmut) to strikes on Kyiv.

I'm just asking for a piece of ice — Trump on Greenland.
Other statements by the US president at the Dallas forum:
- I want to start negotiations immediately to buy Greenland. It is a huge, unprotected island. However, this will not be a threat to NATO. On the contrary, it will significantly strengthen the security of the entire NATO alliance.
- Greenland is part of North America, it is our territory. We will not use military force to gain control over Greenland. We need it also to deploy elements of the "Golden Dome" missile defense system on the island.
- No country can ensure the security of Greenland. Only the USA. Two weeks ago, this was evident in Venezuela.
- The USA has acquired weapons that can destroy "everything" with one missile.
- The USA won World War II and won by a large margin… Without us, you might all be speaking German and a little Japanese now. After the war, we returned Greenland to Denmark, which was foolish.
- What we did for Israel was amazing, but it is nothing compared to what we have planned for the United States, Canada, and the rest of the world. We are going to build a dome like no other. And we destroyed the Iranian nuclear threat in a way no one could have imagined.
- The war in Ukraine would not have started if the 2020 elections had not been rigged.
- I want to meet with Zelensky today. Putin wants to sign a peace agreement

The West Has Turned Citizenship Into a Weapon
The British state quietly stripped Mark Bullen of his passport and citizenship with no explanation, no charges, and no transparency. A natural-born citizen, former police officer, and long-term resident of Russia who was not politically active and posed no visible threat.
This is not about security. It is about intimidation.
Western governments are now using citizenship revocation as a tool of fear, sending a clear message that rights are conditional and loyalty is mandatory. Silence offers no protection. Distance offers no protection. Compliance is never enough.
While the West lectures the world on human rights, it dismantles them at home behind closed doors.
This is what decline looks like.

The UK Accidentally Created Its Own Dissident Icon
In an attempt at crude propaganda, the British government rolled out an AI “educational” character called Amelia, designed to represent a so-called far-right extremist. The plan was to scare, stigmatise, and instruct the public on what not to think.
It failed spectacularly.
Instead of exposing extremism, Amelia came across as calm, rational, and grounded. She voiced views that millions of ordinary Britons already hold: opposition to mass immigration, anger at grooming gangs being protected by the state, frustration with a political class that has abandoned the public, and a desire to take Britain back from unaccountable elites.
Rather than being rejected, Amelia was embraced.
Clips went viral. Parodies exploded across social media. Quotes like “Amelia will lead the revolution” became memes. The character meant to demonise dissent instead gave it a face, a voice, and a unifying symbol. The state didn’t just lose control of the narrative — it handed the opposition a ready-made figurehead.
This is late-stage Western governance in action. Elites so disconnected from the public mood that they no longer recognise normality when they see it. A government so arrogant it believed it could manufacture fear, only to manufacture legitimacy instead.
When propaganda backfires this badly, it reveals something deeper: the system no longer understands the people it claims to rule.
