Trump suggests US troops could stay in Iran to seize its oil

Donald Trump proposed that American troops could remain in Iran to "keep the oil" following the conflict, drawing a parallel with an arrangement in Venezuela.

Trump also said that US revenue from Venezuela has "paid for the war many times."
