House Republican Says ‘We Need To Go In’ Venezuela Because It ‘Will Be a Field Day’ for Oil Companies
Yahoo! News
Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) said the U.S. must and will “go in” Venezuela, stating that American oil companies will have a “field day” in the petroleum-rich country.
Appearing on Fox Business on Monday, Salazar called for the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In recent months, President Donald Trump has bombed Venezuelan vessels in the Caribbean that he alleges were carrying drugs and “narcoterrorists.” At least 80 people have been killed in the strikes. The Trump administration has provided no evidence to justify the bombings, which are legally dubious, regardless. Notably, Venezuela is not a producer of fentanyl.
