It wouldn't be wrong to say that President Donald Trump is inching closer to making his dream come true involving Venezuela as America's 51st state.
According to reports from local media outlets, the president has offered US citizenship to nearly 32 million citizens of the country, raising eyebrows across the globe.
Trump literally has his eyes set on the oil-rich nation as a potential state, as officials continue to court oil firms for investments in the South American nation following the US intervention that removed President Nicolas Maduro from power.
Trump mentioned in a phone call through Fox News that he's more than motivated by the $40 trillion value of oil in Venezuela, adding how he's very popular with the country's own citizens.
Speaking to the channel, he reiterated how much they love him. After American military officials captured Maduro in January, whom the Justice Department indicted on narco-terrorism charges, Trump shared more about how the US would run the nation during the transitional period and work with the country's Vice President so the citizens can benefit.
But many experts revealed how annexing another country by force is not possible.
