HOUSTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the oil industry on Tuesday to work with the Trump administration to promote U.S. foreign policy interests, especially in Asia and in Europe, and to punish what he called “bad actors” on the world stage.
The United States has imposed harsh sanctions in the past several months on two major world oil producers, Venezuela and Iran. “We need to roll up our sleeves and compete – by facilitating investment, encouraging partners to buy from us, and by punishing bad actors,” Pompeo said in his prepared remarks.
The speech came the same day Pompeo met with top oil executives for about an hour to try to persuade energy companies to help the administration’s efforts to boost crude exports to Asia and to support its policy of isolating Iran.
He´s done. Dead body. Finished. Go home!
The oil companies should cook their food in their own oil. So they can all go to hell.
That is messed up.
What a destructive foreign policy? Pompeo always out to destroy Iran or Venezuela, Cuba, N. Korea, China or Russia. And never apartheid Israel? Always for war & killing! Never for peace & love! Satanic force in God's one world!
consistently embarrassing SecPompeo
Blood for oil. The motto of Ugly Americans everywhere.
Why do you think America shut down Venezuelan oil production.
Foreign Policy of Obey or Die !!!!! A Policy where US dictates and controls what other countries do to the detriment of the countries .....
What foreign policy? We have no foreign policy agenda, we have a madman in the WH who is a total moron regarding foreign anything. Foreign agenda my a--!
Isn't us foreign policy already acting in the oil industry's interests?
Decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels would help out a lot as well...
What nthe hell know the agenda?
usually it's the other way round.
Well, this isn't authoritarian or scary at all...
Well ,they are the one who request that policy
Ironically, during the Obama era, former ex-Sec of State Tillerson, as CEO of Exxon, would call upon the State Dept to support the foreign policy of the oil firm.. - Pompeo calls on oil industry to support U.S. foreign policy agenda
Like the same way he manages arms sales.
😆.
