Temporary US Governance for Oil Access

A sitting U.S. administration may justify short‑term occupation or direct administration of a foreign government to secure natural‑resource access and enforce criminal charges against alleged regime leaders. That gambit combines domestic legal tools (indictments, FTO designations) with blockade, asset seizure, and public statements about running the country, raising novel constitutional, international‑law, and enforcement questions. — If normalized, this approach would create a precedent where resource security and criminal prosecution become grounds for extraterritorial governance, reshaping norms about sovereignty, occupation, and executive authority.
