Trump on Libya: “We Should Attack It For 50% Of Their Oil“ Feb. 2011 Donald Trump suggested that the United States should invent a reason to invade Africa, a decision that would mark a serious escalation of the U.S. military campaign for natural resources. It's was the position for Trump, who has argued both in favor of and against military invasion in Libya over the past five to six years. Trump had previously argued in favor of invading Iraq. Although Trump has emphasized a military policy of “America First“ and railed against foreign entanglements, he has repeatedly said the U.S. needs to “knock out“ leaders of countries.
