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 really think your giving the palestinian thing too much weight, the overwhelming majority of US voters are selfish…both just as a natural consequence of how brutal america is for the working clas and how short-sighted/greedy it’s capitalists are. majority of the country living paycheck to paycheck…
america as a whole just votes for whoever promises them the most immediate benefit/relief, then expects them to lie/fuck em over anyway. single-issue culture war/idealist voters are the minority.
most of the working class does not have the privilege of worrying about palestine, ukraine, or anyone else for that matter. they’re focused on providing for their immediate family/friends… they’ve been lied to by career politicians for generations
