President Donald Trump urged major US and European oil executives to invest at least $100 billion to revive Venezuela's oil industry. Despite Trump's push, citing a new chapter and a handover of oil reserves, companies expressed significant reluctance.

Other executives also voiced concerns about investment protections and returns.
