Of course Trump wants it. He sure as hell doesn't care about fentanyl addicts. The drug charges are trumped-up anyway. While there is some corruption in the army echelons with enabling drug routes from Columbia, Venezuela is not involved in drug production and has no cartels identified by the State Department. It's all about the oil, Maduro's politics and refusal to become another US client state.
