name of “furthering capitalism.”

Part
5 - Real US foreign policy goals
The
ARSOF Unconventional Warfare manual provides further insight into
what really motivates the United States to wage economic warfare in
Venezuela and beyond.
The
document outlines one of the key goals of US foreign policy:
Furthering
free trade, unencumbered by tariffs, interdictions, and other
economic barriers, and furthering capitalism to foster economic
growth, improve living conditions, and promote the sale and mobility
of U.S. products to international consumers.
President
Trump’s ultra-militaristic National Security Adviser John Bolton
echoed these priorities in an interview with Fox Business. “We’re
in conversation with major American companies now… I think we’re
trying to get to the same end result here,” Bolton declared.
“It
will make a big difference to the United States economically if we
could have American oil companies really invest in and produce the
oil capabilities in Venezuela.”
