ExxonMobil seeks sanctions waiver to keep Russia oil deal alive – report
ExxonMobil has applied for a waiver from US sanctions against Russia to keep a claim to Black Sea oil exploration rights negotiated in 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported. Exxon’s former CEO Rex Tillerson is now US secretary of state.
The Journal reported on the application Wednesday afternoon, citing “people familiar with the matter,” who remain anonymous. The Treasury Department told the paper that it did not comment on waiver applications, while Exxon said it would not discuss government deliberations.
It is unclear whether Exxon filed the claim with the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control before Tillerson was appointed secretary of state by President Donald Trump, the WSJ said.
Tillerson has recused himself from any matters involving Exxon for two years, and will not be involved in any decisions by the US government involving the company during that period, the paper reported, citing a State Department spokesman.
Trump’s critics pounced on the report as proof of their allegations about the president’s improper financial ties with Russia.
In 2012, Tillerson negotiated a deal with Russia’s oil and gas giant Rosneft worth as much as $500 billion in joint investments, to explore deposits in the Black Sea, the Arctic and Russia’s Far East. Much of the deal was put on ice by the sanctions imposed by the Obama administration in 2014, after Crimea voted to rejoin Russia following a violent coup by US-backed political forces in Ukraine.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Exxon is asking for a sanctions waiver because its exploration rights in the Black Sea will soon expire if the company does not act.
Some of its European competitors already have sanctions waivers. Norway’s Statoil ASA is drilling in the Barents Sea, while Italy’s Eni SpA is allowed to operate in the Barents and Black seas the Journal reported

Exxon has drilled off the coast of Romania, and holds a license for drilling in Ukrainian waters. There may be 30 billion barrels of oil under the Black Sea, according to estimates from Russia, Romania and Turkey.
The company was previously given a waiver to safely wrap up exploration of a well in the Arctic, the Journal reported. Those operations were completed in October 2014.
Russia has signaled its readiness to restore good relations with the US, blaming their breakdown on the Obama administration’s hostility.
“As President Putin repeatedly stressed, we are ready to go our part of the way for the recovery of our relations with the United States,” Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the Austrian magazine Profil in February. “Their degradation in recent years is not our fault but a result of purposeful actions of the previous administration in Washington. For our part, we have always stayed open to development of predictable cooperation, based on the principles of equality, mutual respect and consideration of each other's interests.”

it's not like you're subtle
Luke Wilson
wait... subtle about what? The way trump supporters got tricked into filling the swamp and not draining shit?
ok
please lets discuss this article.
Do you think it was just happenstance that Tillerson was selected as SoS? I don't. I think he was placed there to smoothen deals like this and cut sanctions back on Russia.
Adam Cooper
got it.
No one on Sup Forums wants to discuss ACTUAL corruption or news. Go back to whatever forums you were posting propaganda in.
Ryder Price
im gonna keep bumping this until someone admits that they got hornswaggled
Jonathan Carter
I'd rather Trump be a Russian puppet than a neocon-good goyim stooge.
Sebastian White
Good, let them drill for all the oil they want. We need oil to live and liberals don't want to drill for some stupid reason.
Hudson Price
why, both options have horrible outcomes for the US
Jacob Campbell
Post back when Trump signs off on this because it's not gonna happen
>Their degradation in recent years is not our fault but a result of purposeful actions of the previous administration in Washington.

This is probably not gonna happen, not after the Syria strike

Hillary lost. Trump is Making America Great Again through smart business deals and energy independence.
Asher Hill
>Importing oil from other countries is energy independence
How fucking stupid can you get m8
Carter Flores
Are you for real.. do you really think we didn't ask Russia's permission before bombing that shitty empty air field.. Congress wasn't even notified before hand
Alexander Bell
very low effort shilling, 0.02c removed from your Rosneft account
Benjamin Ross
retards
Evan Perez
>do you really think we didn't ask Russia's permission before bombing that shitty empty air field
You are high on liberal bullshit. You didn't ask for Russian permission you gave them a warning to get out of the way, because killing Russian military could start WW3.
And it wasn't an empty airfield, it killed 10 syrian military personnel and it destroyed 6 or 20 airplanes, depending on who you ask
Asher Murphy
and now they're back to saying trump is a russian puppet.
John Moore
i cant find any sources on the results of the bombing, do you have one for me?
Logan Fisher
Honest question do you believe that Rex should make no diplomatic relationship that happens to benefit his company as collateral even if it benefits America as a whole?
Elijah Hernandez
>oil company wants to drill oil
>this is considered corruption
Mason Powell
Until it's been proven that a law has been broken (one hasn't) this will all be liberal deflection and distractions. Stay the course, pedes.
Tyler Sanders
Amazing how delusion you redditors are.
Oliver Cox
>private oil company wants to violate sanctions imposed for Russia literally annexing part of a sovereign country
>merely a coincidence that the person in charge of these sanctions/arrangements now was the CEO of that oil company a few years ago
Evan Anderson
In what way would we know that it would benefit America? From whose facts would we get this info? People think the the Keystone Pipeline would help the US. Why? Because "facts" come from "monied interests" and make their way through the media and into the news.
Julian Davis
Depending on who you ask
Russian and Syrian media are saying 6 airplanes and 9 people, but they have an obvious reason to downplay the effectiveness
rt.com
They also interviewed a wife of a dead soldier killed in the airstrikes, if you think the conspiracy runs so deep
youtube.com
Mattis said they took out 20% of their operational airplanes
nypost.com
They also held a funeral for a general that was killed in the airsrike, if you think that was part of the conspiracy also
Jaxon Evans
I never said syria bombings were a conspiracy - i said it was an empty move to appease his daughter and bomb loving americans, and look tough. but i will say Russian was told before hand
Brandon Bennett
So what, corporations have to lobby. It's the way the system works. I don't like it either, but competition demands it.
It's within the context of a deal that was negotiated in 2012, and Tillerson has recused himself from deals that involve Exxon.
Where is a specific example of corruption you are going on about?
Benjamin Phillips
do you think an exception should be made in our justified sanctions for Exxon to drill there, and complete the $500 billion deal before Russia goes bankrupt further? Do you think it is out of the realm of possibilities that Tillerson was tapped to further oil interests around the world, or at least not impede them?
Aiden Long
there was Russian military on that airfield. Telling them was a military decision not a political one.
Unless you're suggesting they should have killed those Russians too, and then there would never ending retaliations
Nathan Morgan
Because it will result in the USA annexing Alberta years down the line as it gets more integrated into the American economy.
>avoid ww3
>this means he was colluding with Russia the whole time
Trump could declare war on Russia and you retards would still think it's a ruse
Adam Kelly
>USA annexing Alberta
nigga wat
Xavier Rivera
This hysteria is justified if they make this exception but they won't, at least not now when relations are at an all time low
And it is in the America First policy for the sanctions to be lifted, America is losing billions of dollars in trade too, only they're a richer country and can take it better than Russia. But American workers are losing out too. If it's America first the sanctions should be lifted, but they won't be
Nolan Collins
Christian Johnson
I am being very honest with you friend, and I sincerely appreciate you talking with me level headedly - but the deal will probably get deflected to congress, and they will pass it. And if not, it will definitely go through in the night after some big story to distract the US, like all other controversial decisions that have been signed in the past, even under Obama.
Robert Taylor
You're actually retarded if you think Ivanka had any actual role in the decision to send those missiles. It's literally just an appeal to emotion. "Look how terrible these chemicals were, it made my poor vulnerable sister, the most well-liked member of our family, cry!"
Julian Clark
rt.com
I am using RT because all American sources are ballyhooed on pol as fake news, there is no news you guys trust, so here is RTs article about how this is trueIvanka Trump may have encouraged her father to launch missile strikes against Syria, which Washington says came in response to a chemical weapons attack at a rebel-held town in the province of Idlib, Donald Trump’s son, Eric, hinted.
“Ivanka is a mother of three kids and she has influence. I’m sure she said: ‘Listen, this is horrible stuff,’" Eric Trump told the Telegraph.
He said that his father “will act in times like that.”
“And by the way, he was anti doing anything with Syria two years ago,” he added. “Then a leader gasses their own people, women and children. At some point America is the global leader and the world’s superpower has to come forward and act and they did with a lot of support of our allies and I think that’s a great thing.”
>Ivanka Trump, who took on an unpaid position as Assistant to the President in March, took to Twitter to condemn the chemical attack, saying that she was “heartbroken and outraged.”
