Geopolitical Economy Report

“We’re keeping the oil. We have the oil. The oil is secure. We left troops behind only for the oil."

~Donald Trump, comments about stealing Syria's Oil

"People say we're not fighting for oil. Of course we are. They talk about America's national interest. What the hell do you think they're talking about? We're not there for figs."

~Chuck Hagel, United States Senator, and served as the 24th U.S. Secretary of Defense

"I would take away their wealth, I would take away their oil. Just take all the wealth. You heard me. I will take the oil."

~Donald Trump, comments about stealing Iraqi Oil

The United States military has illegally invaded and occupied Syrian sovereign territory since 2014, preventing Damascus from accessing its own wealth, their oil and wheat fields. It started under Barack Obama and continued under Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

A top Pentagon official has acknowledged that Washington’s strategy is to starve Syria’s central government of it's wealth, it's revenue it needs to rebuild, after a decade of invasion and occupation, fueled by imperialist U.S. and NATO powers devastated the country.

The U.S. Senate voted 13-84, rejecting a resolution to withdraw U.S. troops. Journalist Ben Norton analyzes the situation.
