Trump says he might keep Exxon out of Venezuela after CEO called it 'uninvestable'

"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."

Trump said on Friday that his administration would decide which firms would be allowed to operate in the South American country.

"You're dealing with us directly. You're not dealing with Venezuela at ⁠all. We don't want you to deal with Venezuela," he said.

Just like the pump seal company, and Radio Shack. Feed the honcho's delusions, or you're pushed out.

Thing is, I added some XOM last week. So, who would be better off, XOM, for staying out, or COP and CVX, for being allowed in. My bet is the Exxon CEO will write another $1B check to Trump the Perfect and Wonderful, to be let in, after daring to be squeamish about the "arty deal" offered.
