Jack Reed: “What you have said--and I agree with it--has been said repeatedly for the last 2 years”

President Trump’s effort to turn the U.S. military into an investor in Venezuelan oil is a blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.

When President Trump cuts military exercises to flatter a dictator or punishes South Korea for declining to join a war he started, all of our allies – and adversaries – think that America’s commitments are negotiable.

President Trump has been explicit about his desire to extract Venezuela's oil," Reed said in a statement.
