Donald Trump has asked for at least $100bn (£75bn) in oil industry spending for Venezuela, but received a lukewarm response at the White House as one executive warned the South American country was currently “uninvestable”.
Bosses of the biggest US oil firms who attended the meeting acknowledged that Venezuela, sitting on vast energy reserves, represented an enticing opportunity.
But they said significant changes would be needed to make the region an attractive investment. No major financial commitments were immediately forthcoming.
It is pretty crazy, he cut himself a $230 million dollar check that he said the government owed him and didn’t even have to report it. He has unilaterally given foreign governments billions of dollars and bribed US interests with billions as well. He also seems to think the hundreds of billions of tariff money is his to do what he pleases with as well.
Truly this administration has broken so many laws, ethics, norms, etc. that they will go down in history as the most corrupt and criminal administration of all time.
