Trump Told Oil Execs of Venezuela Attack Before Congress
President Donald Trump said American oil company leaders knew about a U.S. military attack on Venezuela before it happened. He made the statement to reporters on Sunday. Trump said the executives were informed "before and after" the operation. This admission has caused strong criticism. The Trump administration did not inform U.S. lawmakers before the attack. Officials said they feared a leak that would hurt the operation's security. The revelation raises questions about why corporate leaders were told while elected officials were not.
