President Donald Trump told top oil industry executives the United States government would guarantee security for companies that assist the administration’s effort to revive the Venezuelan petroleum sector after U.S. forces captured the country’s ex-president.
Speaking in the East Room Friday at the top of a televised sit-down with the energy executives, Trump said his administration would be “making the decision” on which companies to “allow” back into Venezuela and promised his administration would “cut a deal” with those companies.
