If they thought the last authoritarian regime wrecked things - just wait until Trump gets done with it.

Venezuela fell into the East India Company trap as part of an imperial empire.

I’m sorry..could you be more specific. When you say authoritarianism ruined the oil industry…you mean the one they had or the one Trump replaced it with…him!

Well! At the famous White House meeting with President Trump on January 9, 2026, Exon/Mobil CEO Woods described Venezuela as “uninvestable” under its existing legal and commercial framework & as far as we know, nothing has changed since then except for Trump stealing what oil they were exporting…
