Trump Says He’s Inclined to ‘Keep Exxon Out’ of Venezuela Plans
President Donald Trump signaled he’s leaning toward excluding Exxon Mobil Corp. from his push for US oil majors to spend at least $100 billion to rebuild Venezuela’s petroleum industry, saying he was displeased with the company’s response to his initiative.
“I’d probably be inclined to keep Exxon out,” Trump told reporters late Sunday aboard the presidential plane on the way back to Washington from his Florida estate. “I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute.”
