President Donald Trump said during his Veterans Day remarks at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday that the United States is taking billions of dollars of oil out of Venezuela and has paid for the cost of the war many times over.
“Afghanistan was almost 20 years, and we lost 2,500 servicemembers and got very little from any of these wars,” Trump said. “In our case, we had Venezuela, where we’re taking out billions and billions of dollars of oil and all sorts of other things. It’ll be hundreds of billions very soon.”
“And we paid for the cost of the war many, many times over already,” he added. “To the victor belong the spoils, they used to say. But you can say it again with us under this leadership.”
