“I wonder why Maduro didn't just offer him the oil’: Mehdi Hasan says Trump strikes were oil-driven

Zeteo’s Mehdi Hasan says the U.S.’s interest in Venezuela is primarily resource based, and that drug trafficking charges against Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro are a smokescreen for extracting oil from the country. In this way, Hasan says this move is similar to the U.S.’s invasion of Iraq. “The only difference between Donald Trump and his predecessors is that Trump is very open about it. He's very brazen about it.”
