Trump appears to be reconsidering Exxon's role in the ambitious $100 billion oil sector revival plan for Venezuela. The administration is signaling that the fossil fuel giant may get excluded from this massive reconstruction initiative, leaving other US oil majors to carry the weight of the investment.

This strategic pivot could reshape how American energy companies approach the geopolitical opportunity in Venezuela. The move hints at shifting priorities—whether it's about regulatory concerns, strategic partnerships, or other policy considerations.

For those tracking global energy dynamics and their ripple effects on commodity markets, this could be a telling indicator of how US administrations balance economic opportunities with foreign policy objectives.

Data shows that Exxon’s chances of being kicked out are soaring. The logic is still the same... Although political winds can change at any time, who will end up with the 10 billion at the end? If you count by the hour, this thing will eventually collapse.

Huh? Exxon was kicked out? This plot twist is a bit quick... --- A $10 billion big cake says no if you don't want it, who did they offend? --- The geopolitical play is back again, who still can't see through the US tricks? --- Basically, it's political bargaining chips; energy is just a cover. --- Wow, is this a disguised sanction against Exxon or is there another hidden reason... --- Oil majors are rushing to the table, this deal has a trap. --- Venezuela, this hot potato, why is it stirring up again this time?
