HOUSTON - U.S. Secretary Of State Mike Pompeo will meet with top oil executives before he addresses a conference on Tuesday, in an effort to get them to help the administration’s effort to boost crude exports to Asia and to support its policy of isolating Iran, according to three people at two companies briefed on the agenda.
Pompeo plans on discussing how to boost U.S. energy dominance worldwide, but particularly in Asia, and further isolate the Islamic Republic of Iran, which the United States re-imposed sanctions on last year, through strengthening ties with other Middle East nations, the people said. The location and time of the meeting was unclear.
Occidental declined to comment. Chevron had no comment. A Total representative could not immediately be reached for comment. The other companies did not immediately respond to requests for comment. That group has become mired in a dispute between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, both important U.S. allies in the region. The lead U.S. negotiator for the alliance, Anthony Zinni, left the position earlier this year, putting a plan to promote Arab security and battle extremism in jeopardy.
“The main message is how we can work best with the companies. Consequently engaging with the CEOs, especially on Asia Edge, is key because they’re playing a much bigger role than we would have seen in other types of similar issues.”
Isn't that what the Energy Sec is supposed to do? Or Commerce?
Crude oil CIA, what's new?

Despite no progress, Trump, senior aides spin North Korea summit as a successPresident Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and national security adviser John Bolton have been touting the summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un as a success. yeah, no deal is better than a bad deal. they're still meeting and talking which by itself is a HUGE step in the right direction. it's incredible the lengths the media will go to to resist. sob stories for isis recruits. tacit support for maduro. absolutely pathetic. yes, 'no progress' is the new 'great success by the greatest president who ever lived', don't ya know? *heavy sarcasm here* you clearly aren't on board the Trump Train where even a Donnie poo is heralded with great fanfare for progress.
