I'm so much smarter than you it should make headlines.
Thing is, I refuse to believe you are even for real. You have to be a character or a paid shill, one of the two. It's why I almost never do anything except dismiss you.
And that's a low bar around here. Congrats, you got lower.

If you were a business any business and the US asked you to go into a country where you had already had your arse handed to you financially and the US did nothing to recoup your losses, what would you ask for if the US asked you to do it all again?
First, Id want US military protection for the sake of the assets and the people. Hazard pay aint cheap, certainly not insurance for workers, and them Lousiana baws dont come cheap given the hazards of working there are more dangerous than quarterbacking behind that Alabama OL playing Indiana.
Second, its not a bad idea to set up a joint venture, the US govt pays up front for a piece of the business. If they put the skin in the game, they will ensure its not just handed over, or at least it will be their loss not the oil companies eating the loss again.
Its an investment that will pay income, unlike ukraine or learing centers.

VD Tiger uses the insult moron a lot. Just like Stork did in Animal House. He also uses lots of other simple insults.

Do you really think the exporting countries pay the tariffs? Is that really what you think?
Such a child. I have been an importer and exporter to dozens of countries for the past three decades, let me give you a simple discourse.
You start with the end consumer in the US and the price point. You then figure in your importer margin including his operating costs, you tack on inland freight, inbound freight, broker fees, and tariffs and taxes. You then decide what you will charge.
You live with less margin to enter the largest market in the world.....its why Wal Mart and Amazon get the lowest prices from domestic companies. So you reduce your price, the importer can take this extra margin to pay the tariff and voila you hit the same price point.
Know how you know this is happening. Exporters to the US are explaining this exact scenario in the reasoning why their incomes are down for the quarter. Second inflation continues to fall.
So when you say importers "pay" it, thats akin to your teenage child using your credit card to "pay" for her temu items.

Low oil price doesn’t make it a bad investment. At all.
Have you ever sat through budget and development planning meetings at an O&G company where capital spend and number of wells drilled and projects to be completed correlated with a variable representing oil prices?
I don’t think I’ve been in one where there is a massive ramp up in drilling and infrastructure project spend in an assumed low oil price environment. But hey…this one could be different, at least if there’s incentives, which is what President Trump suggested in the OP’s quote. May not be a direct pay to work, but possibly some interest free loan structure or some sort of additional tax breaks.

The size of the reserves is irrelevant, if those reserves cannot be recovered due to dangerous instability.
Also…what’s the price point that makes barrels economically recoverable? I’m sure there’s some Tier 1 stuff that is economical at $55; but what percentage of that accounts for these 300B barrels we keep hearing about?

Something like 5% royalties. That changes the calculus somewhat.
But, even then, you have to deal with the risk of instability.

Thanks Ailsa, but "the United States" didn't lose anything in Venezuela. American companies did.
