The Trump administration intends to meet with U.S. oil company CEOs later this week to discuss potentially increasing Venezuelan oil output after U.S. forces captured Nicolas Maduro, Reuters’ Jarrett Renshaw and Sheila Dang report, citing a source familiar with the matter. The meetings are central to the White House’s hopes of getting top U.S. oil firms back into Venezuela after its government nearly two decades ago assumed control of U.S.-energy operations in the country, the authors note. Publicly traded companies in the space include BP (BP), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Shell (SHEL) and TotalEnergies (TTE).
