US Congressman Dan Goldman has accused President Donald Trump of rewarding oil executives with Venezuela's natural resources after they donated approximately £370 million ($500 million) to his campaign following promises of favourable policies, calling the military operation a violation of international law.
The New York Democrat released a scathing statement claiming Trump's 'true motivation' for the Venezuela operation was to seize the country's vast oil reserves 'as a favour to American oil executives who helped get him elected'. Goldman condemned what he called a 'blood for treasure' rationale, describing Trump's unilateral military operation as a violation of the US Constitution that 'should scare every American'.
