Trump trying for another win in Middle Eastern Policy

The headlines don't always mean what they seem to say. 

Trump administration sets sights on Libya's oil reserves in behind-the-scenes power play

The US is using threat of sanctions to calm Libyan Insurgency by getting Libyan Oil on the world market.
Not to 'control' Libyan oil, but to get revenues up for that country which would benefit most Libyans.

And, of course, our economy by keeping price of oil lower. 

Unlike Hillary's picking the low hanging fruit by helping to depose Gadaffy once Dubya scared him into dumping his WMD's, this is gonna take some work.
It's only bad news for the 'keep it in the ground' troglodytes.. and Islamic Radicals.
