To anyone with a long term partner that has a vagina it’s hardly news either.

Perhaps some, agreed. Perhaps even all. But the 1.7tn she refers to is the market size, which is not the same as the value of what could potentially be sold.

She’s not selling 1.7tn of Venezuela’s assets. She’s saying she will open a 1.7tn market (ie a market with a total revenue of 1.7tn) for foreign investment.

It doesn’t make it better, necessarily, but it does make a difference.
