Jack Reed: “I hope you can formally endorse our proposal.”

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.

This measure is a tribute to Senator Graham’s tenacious, bipartisan work in support of Ukraine.

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.

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