How Canada’s Only Leverage Over America Disappeared in an Instant |
Trump’s operation to capture Nicolás Maduro in the early hours of Jan. 3 was a title wave that changed global politics drastically.
Not only was a dictator de-throned and will soon be brought to justice, but Cuba, China, Iran, and Russia all stand to lose the most economically and politically—a win for all Americans.
E.J. Antoni joins The Daily Signal to lay out the global implications of Maduro’s capture, and how it all will not only impact the global economy, but the U.S. as well.

I’d like to talk today about the recent events in Venezuela, specifically from an economic point of view, and who are the real winners and losers. The U.S.—for a change—is firmly in the driver’s seat and master of its own destiny and hemisphere. The economic story here also goes well beyond oil too, although that’s what has gotten most of the attention.
Venezuela is a veritable gold mine of other natural resources like. Rare earth minerals, lumber box site, the primary source of aluminum natural gas and more. But the biggest loser of all isn’t China or Russia—it’s Canada. After last weekend’s events, not only is Canada losing its biggest crude customer, but it’s also losing, its only real leverage in trade talks with the United States.
