US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) held a meeting with oil industry leaders at the White House, pressing them to commit to large-scale investment to tap into Venezuela’s vast petroleum reserves following recent US military action in the Latin American nation.
“We just had a great meeting with the oil executives. We sort of formed a deal. They’re going to be going in with hundreds of billions of dollars and drilling oil — and it’s good for Venezuela and it’s great for the United States. A lot of money is going to be made. Oil prices will come down although they are getting down pretty good now without it. And it was a great meeting we has today with the biggest companies anywhere in the world," Trump told reporters.
