@ymediaglobal: U.S. President Donald Trump has compared America's military involvement in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan with what he described as substantial economic gains from Venezuela. Citing the human cost of past conflicts, Trump said the United States lost approximately 60,000 people in Vietnam, more than 4,400 in Iraq and 2,500 service members in Afghanistan, while receiving little in return. Turning to Venezuela, Trump claimed: “We're taking out billions and billions of dollars of oil, and all sorts of other things. Be hundreds of billions very soon.” He added, “To the victor belong the spoils. They used to say. But you can say it again with us under this leadership.” Trump's remarks raise questions about the relationship between military intervention, economic interests and U.S. foreign policy. His claims about the scale of Venezuelan oil gains have not been independently verified. #DonaldTrump #Venezuela #USForeignPolicy #OilPolitics #WorldNews
