- Aug.20 - Venezuela is in default; the country has suffered one of the greatest economic and humanitarian crises in modern history. Now, after four years of crippling U.S. sanctions, President Nicolas Maduro is making a public plea aimed directly at President Joe Biden- it's time for a deal. Bloomberg's Erik Schatzker travels inside Venezuela and sits down with Maduro to discuss the country's future.
Hoping for the best for Venezuelan people. ❤ from USA.
Thanks to the interference, sanctions and lootings from USA, Venezuela will always be like a hell💀
NOT OUR PROBLEMMMM
are u kidding? they already have the best...most of them are here already
Hoping & praying for the best in Venezuela!
no. all it takes is maduro resigning, but he isn't going to. the sanctions will screw up that country until he is gone. There is no other way to return to normalcy other than maduro resigning
thank you for praying my parents suffered through this and so did my whole family i wasn’t able to see venezuela i feel bad so much for my parents what they suffered through and luckily we moved to america because in america it’s free i think
SsdssssssP
America should learn that while it supports countries like Saudi Arabia a country that has one of the worst human rights record on the planet but tries to push this Democratic country under the bus because the govt wants to share the countries wealth with the desperate poor .
This narrator is very bias , the real cause of the problem for this country is the USA
My prayers to the people of Venezuela.
you also are responsible for their misery.
This could happen to all of us, regardless of where you're from
@Larry S lol
No it couldn't. Believe it or not, there are people with standards.
@Larry S prolly china. Honestly Australias economy is in chinas hand since we are the third biggest exporter to china idk about america but id say it would be similar
Who’s going to put sanctions on the United States ?
@@liberty4175 china could they've done it to aus b4
You don't need America to sell oil nowadays. Saudi Arabia recently signed a deal with Russia. The truth is, Venezuela's oil production has dropped down due to a lack of investment back into maintaining the infrastructure.
If Saudi Arabia and Venezuela stops using the Petrodollar to trade oil, America is going to "fight for democracy" in their countries
US is always trying to take advantage of any Country, with all kinds of excuses ! But never accepts that.
@@rogergomezb1123 ok then you stay in venezuela, I’ll stay in America. Guess who will live better and be happier?? Enjoy 😊 socialism!!!
Add to that Venezuelan oil is hard to extract.
They invested more in beauty pageants & in breast implants. 🤣
Wherever we live in the world, these are our brothers. I wish the best for Venezuela and any other country who face poverty, injustice. God bless us one and all.
When their Leader is a High School Drop out and the last job he had was as a Bus driver. How did that happen ?
Our brother stf those are not my people 😂😂😂😂
@@gordonnadolni His vice president is not so bad. Maybe Maduro needs to ride a helicopter.
I am Venezuelan, the problem started many years before any sanctions. Corruption, incompetence, totalitarian regimes, populism, and socialism are the true roots of this tragedy!
Try telling that to the looney left Americans that idolize socialism
Yes true... is China now lending your government money to process your oil?
Debt trap diplomacy..
La caída de Venezuela empieza el 24 de Enero de 1958...
SANCTIONS have clearly crippled the country
Same as Cuba
You should listen to Harari of the WEF, World Economic Forum, they control the world by sanctions. It is their mission to reduce the global population, and they are starting with Latin America. There will be no recovery, move to another country now if you can. They consider uneducated, unskilled people beyond a robot/AI to be irrelevant and contributing to global waste. They plan on replacing the unskilled, with AI artificial intelligence. This is by design, genocide by design.
Love from Canada to our Venezuelanos brothers and sisters.
Thanks ☹🇻🇪🖤
I hope it works out for the sake of the common folk. 🙏

Venezuela's political and economic turmoil is deeply rooted in its history. Prayers for our brothers in Venezuela that their country be liberated in the near future and the US sanctions and embargo be lifted the soonest. Much sympathy and love from the Philippines 🙏🏾

Iran has been under American sanction for some decades, even before Chavez took office, but no starvation in Iran.
Exactly. This a left-biased documentary. Sanctions doesn't exists until Trump and the colapse and shortages starts here in Venezuela since 2008, when first suggar, then toilet paper and then everything dissapear from markets while venezuelan bolivar drops to zero.

He’s on thin ice as is!

I'm from the Philippines, I have my prayers for Venezuela.
It will never change
I hope it gets better, Venezuela should be a thriving, prosperous Country, I guess it's a lot of Government mismanagement. I don't understand why the US put the sanctions on anyway, all sanctions do is hurt everyone!
@@BETTERWORLDSGT not government mismanagement governed control complete that's what socialism is and its immoral that's why the sanctions are there for good reason
@@peterjohn7045 IF SOCIALISM IS THE PROBLEM WHY IS THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENING IN LEBANON? THEY CAPITALIST GOVT
Almost the same thing happened to Serbia in the 1990's under Milosevic So many zeros were printed on local money that everybody started using foreign currency to do their shopping otherwise you needed a bag full of money just to buy a dozen eggs. Everybody talks about the Weimar inflation but few people realize something similar happened in Europe just forty years ago.
Just bought 2 ears of sweet corn. They were 8 dollars a dozen. This is a farming area. Same thing is happening here as happened to the German Mark (WW1). SGerman
SAME IS HAPPENING IN LEBANON
SPECULATORS ARE THE CULPIRT
LEBANON IS CAPITALIST GOVT
IT'S PROOF IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOCIALISM
YES, but in Serbia, inflation was ONLY because of american sanctions.
USA impose sanctions on Serbia in may 1992.
And inflation started in 1993.
It was NOT Serbias fault and it was NOT Milosevic fault.
Nazi America wanted to crush Yugoslavia.
(znam da to i ti znas, moj Srdjo).
To je zbog sankcija crni Srdjane
I literally have a full bag of Venezuelan money.
It's worth that little they make bags out of it.
I know people from Venezuela and the whole thing just makes me cry
every socialist ideologue just got triggered by your comment. it must suck for them not having any socialist success stories, they ALL turn to S**t. just a matter of how quickly
It's their government who make them so
A man who says "this world has to change to improve his situation" and NOT say "he has to change to fit into the world" is messed up!!!
Maduro is pos and a liar his government are not to he trusted at all don’t believe what he and any of his liar henchman had said in this video this why the us won’t lift the sanctions because they know this very well.
@@BraveFencer None of them can be trusted. Venezuela always had problems with corruption.
you just described an ideologue. it's disgustingly bad on the left in the U.S. right now

I pray for the prosperity of venezuela and i hope that things will get better there 🇿🇲❤️🇻🇪🙏🏾
I’m Mexican and I feel very angry at what government and leaders did to innocent and amazing people like Venezuelans, victims and more victims of a system that politicians refuse to change, this is beyond politics is about economy science, is about overcoming a mindset of what protecting population and guarantee a safe place with good conditions means to the government, God, I’m boiling to see many Venezuelans suffering from this cause I can understand what they feel
Selfish politicians lining their own pockets at expense of the people.
Thanks to the interference, sanctions and lootings from USA, Venezuela will always be like a hell💀
I hope there's no more corruption in South America, Central America, Latin America.

One man holding an entire nation hostage.
US is holding entire world hostage, when there values is not adapt by other country
@@JovenAlbarida that man holding an entire country hostage is Maduro!!
Venezuela has been completely wrecked since 2013 at least, and that happened because the Venezuelan government has simply embezzled and stolen everything they could for decades! They have racked up insane amounts of bad debt for nothing, have crushed the already small private sector to non-existence, and have mismanaged the oil sector so much that the moment the oil price fell below 100$ per barrel the whole economy CRASHED!!!
This whole thing has literally NOTHING to do with America, as it’s literally ALL due to the Venezuelan government.

I live in a Tribal village near Mumbai, India. The poor looking Farmers have Rice stored for 2 years. Meaning they stock Their staple food for 2 years. They must be doing this for thousands of years. Rice Stock for 2 years is insurance in case Monsoons fail. This is what almost all farmers in India do.
Our Economy is Agriculture based. There have been depressions but it is not felt due to Rural Agriculture Economy.
I can attest to this. Compared to my country, Nigeria, I found food to be quite cheap when I was in Mumbai. I was astounded things can be that cheap in a country like India that most people think is poor.

Hands of Venezuela support and free Venezuela from oppressors
you support Us banana republic sanctions to starve people as in Iran Shame
Kicking out maduro is a start
It will literally take decades, even if Venezuela does everything right from now on. The damage was already done when people voted for Hugo Chavez, who decided to ignore the contracts in place kicking out the oil companies operating legitimately. This is what happens, if you do not calculate consequences of your actions thoroughly.
This is called "Dutch Disease". You are absolutely correct.
Soon the price of gas for a car in Mexico will be
Regular. 1.00 peso
Premium 2.00 pesos
Ultra. 3.00 pesos
Don’t worry...there will be bolivars in the amount of 1, 5, 10, 50, and 100 when the Christ shows up. And people can make it rain like dollars on the strippers.
Exactly, if you don't do exactly what the US wants they will destroy your country. I am amazed there is any country in the world that doesn't know that.
Does the AntiChrist have the Antivirus for the hyper inflated currency virus?
Venezuela from riches to rags never thought I’d say that
The poverty level sounds a lot like the US when you go in certain parts especially the big cities, but soon it will spread to the countryside... Beside - so what's the difference from a socialist supposedly country Which other countries interfere with their economics and a capitalist run by corrupt Politicians and the filthy rich? Another words a glass house should not throw stones ;-)

Venezuela is a stunning country with hard working people! We get tired of watching negative stuff in the media when there is other side with hope. I pray that the American government lifts up the sanctions against this beautiful nation because in the end...it only affects the Venezuelan people. Venezuelans got tired of talking about politics, all they care about is trying to make progress, bringing turism back, just moving forward. I love you Venezuela!!!
If they lift sanctions, the corruption and narcotraffic wouldnt be over.
Unfortunately progress can’t be guaranteed under the control of Maduro's and ultimately Chavez's party.

Yeah they're doing a great job of it. Just destroy the country so badly no one even wants to deal with them
What do you mean when you say "give up natural resources"? I'm truly intrigued about that phrase because it pops up everywhere
@@jaypr719 , venezuela has oil, gold, timber, and etc. Globalist hate that they won't let big oil and etc take their oil. Venezuela wants their oil to benefit their people.
i assume your not referring to madurro mortgaging his oil fields to russia and china?
If American capitalism is so great, why do they import so much from Communist, socialist countries: China, Vietnam etc... During Chavez era, much of the oil in USA was from Venezuela...why can't Capitalist economies produce everything for the rest of the world?
It's very unfortunate, this must CHANGE!
The Venezuelan people supported Chavez, adored him, and socialism, Do not feel sorry for the people,they are getting what,they deserve, I wonder how they feel about socialism now.
Bingo

That's what happens when you give the government all the power.
Combined with sanctions which will destroy country 😂

@@julianhermanubis6800 imagine that happens to USA. It would be same scenario
@@blabla-hh9nk No, because the U.S. government hadn't nationalized its main industries, had political hacks running them, and then chased off a lot of foreign investment first like the Chavistas did. The sanctions didn't help, but the Venezuelan economy was already on fire.

Venezuela will bounce back when they embrace capitalism.
@@Nameless-qe9hu No they won't. It will go back to being the same old country; with a small wealthy middle class and majority poor. How do you think Chavez came to power in the first place? By catering to the wealthy?
@@Nameless-qe9hu They had capitalism that's when all the poor favelas were built. Chavez at least used the oil money to build millions of new homes.

Canada hopes Venezuela can find there own way to go forward so Canada can help its way through its future
More schadenfreude. Start focusing on poverty, abuse of authority and the rising inequality in our country and less on other places.
Why not both? We're trying to become informed citizens, not ignorant citizens.
this is what happens when governments nationalize and socialize things that are NEVER meant to be nationalized such as the free market, health care, higher education etc...Bernie would have a field day here along with his communist sympathizers like AOC and Ilhan
People in other countries are humans too.
Focusing on rising inequality is what lead to that mess. Inequality is expected and good because there is the excellent and the mediocre, the superior and the inferior. And stating that the inferior cannot be the superior's equal is self-evident, but if you can't bring the inferior up, you can only bring the superior down to create equality.
There can be no future for my poor country so long as the dictator remains in power. Chávez's legacy is nothing but ruin.

Prayers out to Venezuela! The Venezuelan Officials should: 1. Invite US. to help with their economy, farming. 2.Also appeal to the United Nations for help also.
If Venezuela has oil reserves to rival the US and the mid East oil cartels makes sense they wouldn’t want Venezuelan oil on the market especially now when it’s approaching 90 a barrel. I think the west and it’s allies are definitely interfering in Venezuela no doubt about it. But the amount of incompetence in the Maduro is mind boggling. The only way Venezuela could ever recover is to be able to extract and sell its resources period.
Errr no.. ‘the west’ wants LOW oil prices, not high.
Since practically all forms of economic activity are dependent on oil, one way or another (just everything needs to be transported for example) , higher oil prices = higher cost, which is bad for business, and this hurts western countries. Just look at how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sent oil and natural gas prices soaring, which has then sent inflation through the roof in most parts of the world and starting to cause minor financial hardship to many as the cost of everyday items is increases while their wages are not.
The west does not make money from extracting oil, it is a net consumer of oil, by far.
The only countries that want high oil prices are those oil producing nations with undeveloped economies, where oil extraction makes up most of their income, such as Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Nigeria, Angola
I think the U.S is just waiting for Venezuela to weaken, to the point of completely falling to it’s knees so they can take complete control over it’s economy. I mean with all that oil….
No, that's actually the main problem. The venezuelan economy is in shambles 'cause they depend entirely on their oil exports. Having a huge ammount of unproductive spending, an even bigger corrupt state and even worse, the highly skilled and the people with money have already left and made their life elsewhere, if they started rebuilding their state today, it'd probably take 50yrs or 2 gen to actually get somewhere.
Naaaaagh, socialism trashed it
I lived and have family in Venezuela now. Venezuelans will never do more than talk about Liberation. 🗽

"Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America" Yes, because of oil, but only a few wealthy Venezuelans enjoyed the rewards. Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America, but it was also the most unequal country in Latin America. I have a question. If everything was so great in Venezuela, why did the people of Venezuela vote for President Hugo Chavez? Someone who campaigned on radically changing Venezuela? Doesn't anyone see the contradiction?
in 2007 Hugo Chavez built a gigantic pot in the square and made 5000 gallons of chicken soup for the people. This is exactly what venezuela wants and voted for: free chicken soup for everybody.
Because neoliberalism/Capitalism was killing Venezuela before Hugo Chávez
This shocking..and to think the rest of us could be heading down same path...
@Dylan Exactly. "how dare you have the temerity to try anything different to our capitalist system we enslave you to be part of. How dare you nationalize oil! to give it to the poor!"

@@BuddyLee23 money? Wait, I thought China had some economic power and they are allowed to trade with China and iran. How come China and Iran have not rescued this socialist utopia?

For those who love socialism, long time before there was ever somebody named Trump in the White House, the biggest business for what used to be considered middle class mothers is having to go to Columbia to become $2 hookers hoping somehow to feed their children.

Sanctions should be used directly to attack the bad actors and not this round about way that is making the people suffer first before the politicians
Love the storyline OF this!thankyou
Venezuela was never rich. Less than 10% of the population had money. The other 90% lived in utter poverty. The poor got sick of it and had a revolution. The 10% took their money and ran.
That is the same thing that happened in the US during the great depression. Can you blame them?

Bad management is what happened in Venezuela, they only invested in petroleum and the El Rey Chocolates doesn't make enough money to invest in Venezuelan petroleum.
sanction Us was major cause
You can’t blame bad management when there is nothing left to manage. American sanctions are the root cause of the starving people and lack of medical supplies for Venezuelans. America should be tried for crimes against humanity, Venezuela is resource rich but just unable to sell the resources due to the crippling sanctions.
You make history Maduro .... don’t rely on Americans or anyone .... change your thinking or one day someone next to you will get rid of you. There will be no sobbing at your funeral.
B Austin I don't think you realize that Maduro is a idiot. He was a bus driver before Hugo Chavez appointed him as his next successor. Therefore, my question to you is do you think a bus driver has the competency to run a country?
It was fun to see the woman who was very confused about the last currency conversion
So he is blaming the US solely for this?
Please help people of venezuela as humanitarian
Who ’cares for ’venezeula .he ’is greedy maduro wants to make trouble in Guyana
Excellent summary, congratulation
Bloomberg has the money to put out slick bull shit.
They should improve in agriculture development and food products for Venezuela citizens. And stopped depend on oils and gas only. If you can be able to produce agriculture products in your country without depending on food stuffs import you can always kicked down the westerns sanctions.
Problem is government gonna confiscate your product anyway
Wow ! How blessed are we at the moment Geeeeeessssshhhhh 🙏🏾 😞
It's a complex problem, for sure. Corruption inside and outside Venezuela. One thing is for certain, Venezuela was outspending its income BEFORE sanctions, and had little to no austerity AFTER the sanctions. What would happen to the US if China stopped selling to them? It would really, really hurt, but hopefully (yeah, I'm a dreamer), the US would reign in government spending to compensate. In the end, if you live beyond your means, you will ruin yourself. This is true for individuals and nations. Sanctions hurt, but they would have hurt less if Venezuela's government had reigned in its spending.
It's only US sanctions , not the whole world. South Africa had sanctions from most of the world plus a civil war and , while their economy suffered , it didn't collapse.
WELL YOUR STORY IS COMPLETELY FALSE
THE REAL PROBLEM IS SPECULATORS THAT BEEN DEVALUING THE CURRENCY
EVER SINCE CHAVEZ WAS DYING
AT FIRST THE SPECULATORS WAS GIVING MORE MONEY IN THE EXCHANGE THEY CREATED AGAINST THE GOVT EXCHANGE
THEN WHEN CHAVEZ WAS DYING THEY STARTED GIVING LESS AND LESS IN THEIR EXCHANGE AND THE OPPOSITION PROPAGANDA NEWS WAS ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO BUY DOLLARS ON THE SPECUALATORS EXCHANGE RATE
AND BEEN FALLING EVER SINCE
SO THE OPPOSITION ARE MAKING PEOPLE SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT BECAUSE THEY LOST THEIR POWER
AND DIDN'T NOTHING FOR THE POOR IN THE PAST AND NOW IN PRESENT MAKING THEM SUFFER TO BLAME MADURO AND SOCIALISM
THE OPPOSITION ARE NOTHING BUT EVIL CROOKS
the US has a complex economy that produces both necessities and commodities. The Venezuelan economy has, since the 80s relied on oil, which it exchanges for food/goods. This reliance on oil makes the venezuelan economy closer to Sudi arbia's or the UAE's than the US.
it is not complex at all. Socialists wreck everything very time
The only ones benefiting from oil export were the Venezuelan elites. The money has not been going to the people in the past 12-15 years .... But the elites have gotten extremely wealthy. That's the reason for the sanctions against the government and the elites. Also many, oil producer engineers have fled Venezuela and most, if not all, migrated out of the country and currently working for other oil producers in Texas and in the Middle East.
"That's the reason for the sanctions against the government and the elites."
BWAHAHAHAHA!
@@Fridaey13txhOktoberwell we did prosecute some boligarchs like Ricardo Rincón and Abraham Shiera. But there are also other reasons for the sanctions…

Ever since world had completely gone to fiat currency there is no capitalism , as there is no currency that has actual value.All currencies are centrally steered hence entire economy of the world is centrally controlled.Even where there arent regulations to steer things in right direction those who control emittance and distribution of currency decide value of everything, instead of having market forces decide it.We haven't had capitalism for about 100 years.

I hope it works. Too much immigrants in my country. Job availability has dwindled and rent is rates are increasing well over 35%
What country do you live in?

Please make a similar thorough investigation for Myanmar.
lol Bloomberg can't be honest about Myanmar either. Try The New Atlas.
@@JonROlsen no.
The West still essentially ignores the Far East. All experts warn them, but it has been 60 years of not caring.
@@Redmenace96 lol The CIA NED/USAID has been active, surrounding China and beyond supporting and arming violent mobs and terrorists at strategic places along the BRI. You know, promoting American Democracy, Liberty and Freedom.
@@Redmenace96 Considering what the West has done to Central and South America, the US's "Backyard", it would be better for the Far East if the "West" would ignore it.
Venezuela is rich. So who is keeping them down? 🤔
America, Canada, France, Germany, who else is in team America?

a bunch of corrupt bamboons who have ransacked their country and are so inept and corrupt they cant even pump their own oil out of the ground. To say its the 'wests' fault for their ills simply because they refuse to trade with them is ludicrous.
The more richer. AMERICA maybe?
So sad! Venezuelans are really good people! They don't deserve it!
I'm dominican 🇩🇴
Most of venezuelans they want to live as a king without working. Look what happen in NYC now in the shelters and food provided by the NYC mayor. Most of food was thrown away.
All he has to do is buy a few of hunter's paintings
Or he can make a deal with Jarred Kushner
Another stupid right wing distraction from the lies and crimes of trump and the rethugs

You're a Russian Disinformation Troll.
My ex boyfriend/best friend was burglarized and shot to death in Caracas Venezuela. Prayers for Venezuela. They need help. He didn’t deserve that.
He learned his lesson didn't he hopefully his family does too and everybody else that leaves a country like Venezuela or Mexico and then only goes back to get murdered that's how my family the same thing you go over there and something happens to you that's your fault
I am deeply sorry for your loss. May God bless him, you, and all Venezuelans. You all deserve much much better.
@@wedontlikenoneofyou wow what an insensitive comment.
@@MiC-T hey I'm just being honest my wife recently let my daughter go to Mexico and the same rule applies to that too I wasn't in agreement with it and I'm still against it. Too many people talk out of their ass I don't.
@@MiC-T thanks❤️
had the keystone pipeline been built it would have benefitted many people
that is too bad, perhaps US has guilt as well, because imposed
economic blockage upon Venezuela
"The food standard."
Even Maduro is saying “It’s Trump’s fault” hahahahahaha
Ages to come out of this economic problems
It's Trump's crime
Well Maduro looks like he's getting plenty to eat
@@lebohang8405 Trump has been out of office for over 9 months. Still blaming him? Since he is gone, why not solve the problem?
@@deathlarsen7502 Yeah, fat boy Maduro looks wonderful even though his people are eating garbage.
