> Cheap oil

Well allowing Iran unlimited access to global markets would certainly help that.

Same for Venesuela, lifting sanctions and making it easier for them to develop their infrastructure would have lowered the global price of oil.

Governments in both countries are more than happy to sell more oil if anyone allowed them to.

It's not like US politically controlling a large oil producing country makes oil cheaper for Americans. They still have to buy it at the same price as everyone else.

Profits of American oil companies is quite a different matter, though.
