Donald Trump made a major error last Friday (January 9) when he read aloud a private note meant only for him during a press briefing.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The 79-year-old president was talking about plans for Venezuela\u2019s massive oil reserves\u2014the largest proven in the world\u2014shortly after the U.S. military struck Caracas and special forces captured Venezuelan president Nicol\u00e1s Maduro, who is now facing charges in New York.<\/p>\n

At one point, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed Trump a message that was never intended to be shared publicly. But Trump appeared not to realize that and proceeded to read it aloud in front of reporters.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

After being handed the paper, Trump said, \u201cMarco just gave me a note,\u201d and then read it to everyone in the room.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The note read: \u201cGo back to Chevron. They want to discuss something.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Trump then added, \u201cGo ahead, I\u2019m going back to Chevron. Thank you, Marco.\u201d<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The message referred to oil company Chevron, which produces about 150,000 barrels of oil per day in Venezuela, according to CNN. Chevron is among the oil firms in discussions with the White House over potential investment in Venezuelan oil infrastructure and is one of the more established companies operating there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rubio\u2019s expression suggested he was not pleased that Trump had read the message publicly. Trump even slapped him on the back and laughed afterward.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The meeting also highlighted that Venezuela may not be the only foreign target on Trump\u2019s agenda. He reiterated his interest in Greenland, claiming national security concerns and warning that if the U.S. doesn\u2019t act there, Russia or China might.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump said he would take action in Greenland \u201cwhether they like it or not,\u201d raising questions about NATO\u2019s future if the U.S. begins taking aggre:ssive stances toward all:ied nations.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

At one point, Trump even invited the press to look out a window at construction on a ballroom he ordered built\u2014work that required removing historic parts of the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the fake news would like to take a look, you can,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ll see a very big foundation we are moving. We are ahead of schedule on the ballroom and under budget.\u201d<\/p>\n

After returning to his seat, he added, \u201cI don\u2019t think there will be anything like it in the world, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n
