Jack Reed: “Environmental justice is a critical issue.”

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.

Six months later, not a single objective has been achieved. Indeed, he has weakened our position in the Middle East and the world significantly.

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

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