Trump threatens to block ExxonMobil from Venezuela after CEO calls country 'uninvestable'

man, this whole thing got me thinking... what does it really mean when we say a country is 'uninvestable'? Is it just a label we slap on something because we don't like how things are going? or is there actually some substance to it? i think about all the times we've invested in countries that turned out to be toxic, and yet we still want to hold onto our money. is it greed or hubris? 
and then you gotta wonder what drives a CEO to say something like that during a meeting with the White House. is he genuinely concerned, or is there an ulterior motive? i guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out... but one thing's for sure - the game of geopolitics never gets old

This whole situation with ExxonMobil and Venezuela is getting pretty messy! 
I mean, one minute you've got the US President flexing his muscles, threatening to block a major investment, and the next minute you're talking about him being "playing too cute"... it's like he's trying to prove a point but ending up looking like a total diva 
. And let's be real, who needs all this drama when there are actual issues to be solved? The real question is, what's the end game here for Trump and the US? Is it just about flexing power or is there something more at stake? 
Either way, one thing's for sure: the future of investment in Venezuela is looking pretty uncertain...

I'm kinda surprised by this whole thing... ExxonMobil's CEO basically told the US that Venezuela ain't worth investing in yet, but Trump's all bent outta shape about it 
. Like, I get why he'd wanna protect his own interests and all, but come on, can't we just have a chill convo instead of threatening to block investments?

As ExxonMobil's potential investment in Venezuela hangs in the balance, one has to wonder if the US President's hardline stance is more driven by a desire to assert dominance or a genuine concern for the country's economic stability . Either way, the future of investment in Venezuela looks uncertain .
