The White House talks on Venezuelan oil hit a snag for ConocoPhillips. Trump essentially told CEO Ryan Lance to write off the $12 billion owed by Caracas—though realistically, that debt won't just vanish. The meeting underscores how geopolitical tensions reshape energy deals and corporate valuations. For investors tracking energy exposure and international asset risks, this signals tightening pressure on legacy oil claims in Latin America.

1.2 billion USD just gone? This deal is getting more and more outrageous.

1.2 billion USD flushed down the drain, can you tolerate that? What is Conoco thinking?

Uh... 1.2 billion USD, Trump just told someone "write it off"? This isn't a head and shoulders pattern, this is a direct plunge!

Haha, is it really that simple to write down 1.2 billion? In reality, it's not that easy.

Oil sellers are also playing political games. A billion dollars can be written off just like that—how do you calculate this...

1.2 billion USD just wasted like that? So, us retail investors still have to foot the bill?

Oh no, 1.2 billion dollars just went down the drain? Trump is playing his hand pretty aggressively.
