Jack Reed: “We have to be much, much better prepared for 2018, 2020, and beyond.”

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 he unilaterally launched this war, Trump promised he would destroy Iran's nuclear program, eliminate its missile and drone arsenal, dismantle its defense industrial base, wipe out its proxy networks, and topple the regime in a matter…

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

The President has waged this war without public support or congressional consent, and it is far past time for accountability.
