Exxon, others meet Trump over brutal oil price drops; Ted Cruz says Saudi Arabia has been ‘screwing Texas’


WASHINGTON – Executives from Irving-based Exxon Mobil and other top energy companies met on Friday with President Donald Trump to discuss the devastating drop in oil prices caused by the coronavirus pandemic and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

With energy states like Texas facing severe pain, Trump vowed that “we’ll get our energy business back.”

“I’m with you 1000%,” he told the gathered round table during the portion of the meeting seen by the press. “It’s a great business. It’s a very vital business and, honestly, you’ve been very fair. You’ve kept energy prices reasonable for a long period of time.”

U.S. officials have sought to ease the problem, at least as it relates to the clash between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Trump on Thursday even caused a record percentage increase in oil prices by taking to Twitter to tease the prospect of a truce between the two countries.
