What does international law say about the relationship between the United States and Venezuela? Marco Rubio has been described as the "Viceroy" of the country, passing on almost every major policy decision. And the U.S. has taken an unknown portion of Venezuelan oil revenue, thus exerting control over its most vital natural resource. Does this make the U.S. an occupying power under international law, subject to many limitations, including perhaps on diverting oil revenue?
