President Donald Trump called on major energy companies, traders, refiners and others to the White House Friday to be part of his ambitions for Venezuela, as the future of that country’s major asset, crude oil, is at stake.
Trump struck an optimistic tone for the U.S. energy industry’s prospects in Venezuela, praising Chevron
CVX for having “stuck it out” in the country, telling ConocoPhillips COP they could see compensation, and prompting Exxon Mobil’s XOM Chief Executive Darren Woods to commit to a team of Exxon employees on the ground within weeks.
