Trump is HUMILIATED! Exxon Says Venezuela is "Un-Investible", So Americans Must Pay BILLIONS!

US President Trump has recently embarrassed himself by taking over Venezuela for their decaying oil industry that nobody wanted. Oil and gas executives have many reasons to feel Venezuela is “un-investible” as recently stated by an Exxon executive. Bill welcomes back Markham Hislop of Energi Media to explain the various economic and political challenges, as well as the utter incompetence, of Trump’s oil-driven expansionist “plans” in Venezuela, and how it could affect Canada’s oil industry and economic decision-making.Tune into Episode 344 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times.This politics news podcast interview was recorded on January 13, 2026.Don’t forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill’s work.
