The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

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

Jan 11 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he might block Exxon Mobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil major's CEO called the country "uninvestable" during a White House ​meeting last week.

"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.
