Jack Reed: “Thank you very much, Senator.”

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.

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.

It is far past time for President Trump to recognize the lasting harm that Pete Hegseth is inflicting on the Department of Defense.
