US President Donald Trump said on Friday he cancelled a second wave of attacks on Venezuela after it began releasing "large numbers" of political prisoners this week.

"Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of "Seeking Peace."... Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks," he said on his Truth platform.

"At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House," he added.
