US President Donald Trump said he could block ExxonMobil's investments in Venezuela. This happened after the oil company's CEO called the country "uninvestable" during a White House meeting last week. This is reported by UNN with reference to The Guardian.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

Oil company CEO Darren Woods said Venezuela must change its laws before it can become attractive for investment.<\/p>\n

Woods' skeptical remarks quickly made headlines, undermining White House hopes that its engagement with the world's most prominent oil executives would provide positive momentum, the publication said.<\/p>\n

\n

Trump also stated that his administration would decide which companies would be allowed to operate in the South American country.<\/p>\n

\n

You deal directly with us. You don't deal with Venezuela at all. We don't want you to deal with Venezuela<\/p>\n

– he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
