Trump attacks Democrats over Isis

摘要

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has criticised the US administration for allowing Islamist group Isis to take control of Iraqi oil assets. But Isis’ hold over Iraqi and Syrian territory is shrinking. And parts of Trump’s plan for fighting Isis could sour US relations with its key energy partners in the Mideast Gulf. “We should have kept the oil in Iraq” following the 2003 invasion, Trump says. “In the old days, when we won a war, to the victor belonged the spoils,” he says. US control over the Iraqi oil assets could have prevented the rise of Isis as US forces would have safeguarded the oil infrastructure, Trump says.
