"Secretary of State Colin Powell recently told the press that Iraq's
oil will be held 'in trust' to benefit the Iraqi people."

Compare:
"During the 1870s, the U.S. Congress passed a law that prohibited
treaty-making, and an executive order created reservations shortly
thereafter. The U.S. government believed the federal government must
take care of the land for Indian people, as the government believed
Indian people could not adequately care for land. Therefore, the
federal government owned the land and held it in "trust" for a
particular band or tribe."

so yeah, I'd say it's pretty damn close.
