A Dark History
from Trump on Earth Hosted by Trump on Earth
Yes, Trump has cozied up to oil companies. He's said we should have taken the oil from Iraq. And it does seem like we are cozying up to petro-state strongmen in Russia and Saudi Arabia. But is this any different from how the United States and other western powers have operated over the last 150 years? Our guest is Matthieu Auzanneau, author of the book Oil, Power, and War which looks at the deep history of big oil's influence over the affairs of the U.S. and other Western powers.
