Trump Admits U.S. Taxpayers Are on the Hook for His Venezuelan Oil Plan [View all]

Donald Trump has admitted that American taxpayers could be tapped to fund the “tremendous” investment needed to upgrade oil production in Venezuela.

After U.S. special forces removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power in a pre-dawn raid on Saturday, Trump said he planned to seize the country’s huge oil reserves and put them under the control of American oil companies.

In a new phone interview with NBC News on Monday, Trump admitted that his plans would come at a major cost—with American taxpayers potentially picking up the bill.

Trump said he believes the U.S. oil industry could expand operations into Venezuela in under 18 months.
