Trump Admin Weighing Plan to Seize Venezuelan Oil Fields—Report

President Donald Trump’s administration is weighing plans to carry out strikes on Venezuelan military targets in the country and seize the South American nation’s oil fields, according to a new report from The New York Times on Tuesday.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House for comment on the report.

The report from The Times citied unnamed U.S. officials, and said that the president has yet to make a final decision. However, the president has been carrying out military strikes on boats off the coast of Venezuela, which the administration says are working to transport drugs. Those attacks have increasingly drawn bipartisan concern, with some questioning the legality of such actions.

This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.
