Donald Trump has said he might block ExxonMobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil company’s chief executive called the country “uninvestable” during a White House meeting last week.
Darren Woods told the US president that Venezuela would need to change its laws before it could be an attractive investment opportunity, during the high-profile meeting on Friday with at least 17 other oil executives.
Woods’ sceptical remarks quickly emerged as the dominant headline, undercutting the White House’s hopes of building momentum from its engagement with the world’s most prominent oil executives.
"I didn’t like Exxon’s response,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back to Washington on Sunday. “I’ll probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.”
Exxon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
I said ONE OF the reasons, not THE reason. A MAJOR reasons was the social media campaigns, many of which focused on Harris supporting Israel.
You blame me for something I had no part in. I supported Sanders in the 2016 primary and we didn’t even GET a primary last year. I also didn’t vote for traitorous senator who won in my state.
But it’s MY fault Trump won, huh? Moreso than the person who fell for the disinformation campaigns and got hung up on an atrocity both assholes support?
