WASHINGTON -- Overshadowed by Donald Trump’s false assertions
in his first days in office about inauguration crowd size, a highly
controversial statement from the new president with greater importance
received far less attention.
Before a group of CIA employees on
Saturday, Trump said the United States should have taken Iraq’s oil
during its eight-year war there.
“Now, I said it for economic reasons,” Trump said. “But if you think
about it ... if we kept the oil, you probably wouldn’t have ISIS because
that’s where they made their money in the first place, so we should
have kept the oil. But, OK, maybe we’ll have another chance.”
And blocks all press releases directly from the EPA. disbands epa spokesmen position.
