Trump Threatens To Cut Off U.S.' Biggest Oil Firm From Venezuela After CEO Publicly Counters Him

While Donald Trump has been relentlessly pushing big oil firms to invest in Venezuela, ExxonMobil CEO Darrel Woods struck a cautious tone during the meeting at the White House, saying Venezuela was 'uninvestable', publicly countering Trump. 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. Trump wants the group to spend $100bn to revitalise Venezuela’s oil industry in a meeting less than a week after US forces captured and removed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro from power in a brazen overnight raid. Now, Donald Trump has said he might block ExxonMobil from investing in the country altogether - after CEO's remarks made headlines.
