Woods said significant changes to Venezuela's commercial frameworks, legal system, and hydrocarbon laws were needed, but also expressed confidence that the Trump administration and Venezuelan government would work together to put those changes in place.

And shares of America's leading banks are trending lower today after President Trump called for a 10% cap on credit card interest rates on Friday.

The Fed says credit card rates average around 23%.

Når det gjelder Venezuela særlig, har vi en veldig lang historie i Venezuela.

Faktisk kom vi først inn i Venezuela i 1940-tallet.

Vi har hatt våre innsatser oppført der to ganger, og så kan du forstå at å reinterrere en tredje gang vil kreve noen ganske viktige forandringer fra det vi historisk har sett her, og hva som er i dag i staten.

Hvis vi ser på de legale og kommersielle konstruksene og framverkene som er i sted i Venezuela i dag,

I dag er det ininvestert.

Så viktige forandringer må gjøres til de kommersielle framverkene, det legale systemet.

Det må være dyrt investeringssikkerhet, og det må være en forandring til hydrokarbon-lovene i landet.

Vi er sikre på at med denne administrasjonen og president Trump som jobber sammen med Venstre, at disse forandringene kan gjøres.

With respect to the Venezuelan government, that perspective we don't have the view on, we haven't talked to the Venezuelan government, and obviously we have yet to assess the people's perspective with respect to ExxonMobil entering the country.

We've had our assets seized there twice, and so you can imagine to reenter a third time would require some pretty significant changes.

We're dealing with them very well.

I think they've been very smart in the way they've dealt with us, frankly, because that whole place could have been obliterated with one more strike, and we didn't want to do that.
