Jan 9 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he had canceled a previously expected second wave of attacks on Venezuela following cooperation from the South American nation.
Trump said the U.S. and Venezuela were working well together, adding that at least $100 billion would be invested by the "big oil" companies in Venezuela.
He added, however, that all oil tankers in Venezuela "will stay in place for safety and security purposes".
