The majority of Venezuelan oil is sent to China.

Huh. I wonder what happens if Venezuela convinces China to help escort their oil tanker to China for sale...

Not gonna happen. China would love it if the US destroyed even more of its international goodwill on another war of aggression. They are rooting for Trump to do stupid shit like this, because it all weakens the US hegemony more and more.
