Jack Reed: “The greatest threat to the community banks is that we continue to have banks too big to fail that dominate the market.”

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

His administration removed Nicolás Maduro from power, threw its weight behind the unelected leadership that replaced Maduro, and is now attempting to use U.S. military assets and taxpayer-backed financing to boost a private oil venture.

A blatant abuse of power and taxpayer dollars.

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