How Has The Market Reacted? In premarket trading early on Monday, Exxon Mobil's shares fell 1.03% to $123.33. The company's share price had risen by 1.38% on Friday following the White House meeting. While Exxon's down in the premarket, shares of rivals ConocoPhillips and Chevron rose 0.50% and 0.83%, respectively. What Did The Exxon Ceo Say At The White House Meeting? During a gathering of top oil industry executives at the White House on Friday, Woods said: "We have a very long history in Venezuela…We've had our assets seized there twice. You can imagine to re‑enter a third time would require some pretty significant changes from what we've historically seen here and what is currently the state." He added, "If we look at the legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it's uninvestable. And so significant changes have to be made to those commercial frameworks, the legal system, there has to be durable investment protections, and there has…

Donald Trump has said he might block ExxonMobil from investing in Venezuela after the oil company's chief executive called the country "uninvestable" during a White House meeting last week. Darren Woods told the US president that Venezuela would need to change its laws before it could be an attractive investment opportunity, during the high-profile meeting on Friday with at least 17 other oil executives. Trump had urged the group to spend $100bn to revitalise Venezuela's oil industry in a meeting less than a week after US forces captured and removed Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro from power in a brazen overnight raid.

President Donald Trump signaled Sunday that ExxonMobil could be excluded from any future U.S. involvement in Venezuela's oil sector, saying he was unhappy with the company's response following a meeting at the White House last week. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that the oil giant was "playing too cute." "I didn't like Exxon's response. You know, we have so many that want it. I'd probably be inclined to keep Exxon out. I didn't like their response," he said. ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods told the administration on Friday at a roundtable event with other industry executives that Venezuela is currently "uninvestable," citing weak legal protections, past asset seizures and the need for major changes to the country's hydrocarbon laws before ExxonMobil would consider reentering.

Can we just say? It's about time. For years, anyone paying even a little attention to nutrition has known the U.S. food pyramid was backward. Americans were told to prioritize grains and carbohydrates, minimize fats, and treat protein like a side chick. And then we all acted shocked when obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease skyrocketed. The updated Dietary Guidelines released by the Trump administration represent the most meaningful reset of federal nutrition policy in decades. By prioritizing real food over ultra-processed junk, added sugars, and refined carbohydrates, these guidelines bring common sense and actual science back into the conversation. Real food is once again positioned as the foundation for preventing chronic disease and supporting long-term health.

Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) already fragile GOP majority is hanging by a thread, as the death of Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) and the departure of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) narrow the party's razor-thin margin. LaMalfa's death and Greene's exit leave Johnson with a 218-213 majority in the House, allowing him to lose no more than two votes on any given bill, assuming all members are present and Democrats are unified in opposition. And Johnson is temporarily short a member as Rep. Jim Baird (R-Ind.) recovers from a car crash following his release from the hospital last week. "If you have one or two more people in an accident and die, that's a problem," said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.).

President Donald Trump's campaign to criminally investigate his political adversaries keeps running into an intractable problem: his mouth. The news Sunday that the Justice Department has been secretly weighing charges against Fed Chair Jerome Powell — a frequent target of Trump's attacks — alarmed lawmakers, who called it an effort to weaponize the justice system to affect economic policy. But Trump's freewheeling commentary has gotten in the way of past prosecutions he demanded — and could get in the way this time, too.

When President Donald Trump returned to the White House, the speed and breadth of his administration's actions caught his political opponents off guard. Critics and supporters alike called Trump's flurry of executive orders and unrivaled dominance of the news cycle "shock and awe," a phrase typically reserved for aerial bombing campaigns like the one that helped bring down Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq. Now, almost a year into Trump's second term, Republicans are starting to ask whether it is too much, too fast. Just since the beginning of this year, Trump has toppled and taken into custody former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, renewed threats to acquire Greenland without taking the military option off the table, suggested that he might not be done with military and other actions in Iran, and defended the ICE officer involved in a fatal shooting in Minneapolis in stronger terms than he initially offered on behalf of the police officer in the George Floyd case durin…

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has said he is heading to the U.S. for a Wednesday meeting at the White House with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Greenlandic Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Motzfeldt. Rasmussen spoke with reporters after a Danish foreign policy committee meeting in Copenhagen. The White House meeting comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to take control of mineral-rich Greenland from Denmark, citing national security concerns in the Arctic around Russian and Chinese activity. Among options under consideration by the U.S. are trying to purchase Greenland, encouraging its independence from Denmark or taking it by force.
