U.S. break domestic/international laws, by seizing Venezuela's oil reserves and "Running" the country according to our needs and desires instead of allowing its citizens to elect their own leadership...e.g. the very popular Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Ms. Maria Machado...whom DJT categorically refuses to accept.
btw...from your article...Obama didn't need to resort to military action in order to import oil from Venezuela...What we're seeing right now is 'Beyond the Pale'

Diplomatic relations between the two counties have been strained for decades, and Washington and Caracas have not held full diplomatic representation since 2008, after the late Socialist leader Hugo Chavez expelled US ambassador Patrick Duddy.
