Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods, seated to the right, listens as U.S. President Donald Trump, left, speaks during a meeting with oil company executives in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC on Jan. 9, 2026. President Trump is aiming to convince oil executives to support his plans in Venezuela, a country whose energy resources he says he expects to control for years to come. U.S. forces seized Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro in a sweeping military operation on Jan. 3, with Trump making no secret that control of Venezuela's oil was at the heart of his actions.
