After Pres. Trump said the U.S. will be 'keeping the oil' in northeastern Syria, his administration is looking into the 'specifics,' according to a senior State Department official -- but it's prompted renewed cries that doing so is a war crime.
After President Donald Trump said on Monday the U.S. will be"keeping the oil" in northeastern Syria, his administration is looking into the"specifics," according to a senior State Department official -- but it's prompted renewed cries that doing so is a war crime.
"We should be able to take some also, and what I intend to do, perhaps, is make a deal with an ExxonMobil or one of our great companies to go in there and do it properly," he added. Most of that oil is sold to the regime of Bashar al-Assad, the strongman who has waged a war against his own people and is opposed by the U.S.
Although the U.S. is not a signatory to the Rome Statute that established the International Criminal Court in 1998, 122 other countries are and could extradite American officials if required to by the court -- something the Trump administration has vociferously battled in a possible ICC investigation into war crimes by the U.S., the Taliban and other forces in Afghanistan.
