 President Donald Trump will meet with top U.S. oil-company executives on Friday to discuss possible aid for the industry amid plummeting oil prices, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal that cited people familiar with the matter. The meeting will take place at the White House and executives invited include Exxon Mobil Corp. Chief Executive Darren Woods, Chevron Corp. Chief Executive Mike Wirth, Occidental Petroleum Corp. Chief Executive Vicki Hollub, and Continental Resources Inc. Chief Executive Harold Hamm, the newspaper said. Oil prices have fallen precipitously in recent weeks, hit by surging supply from a price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and sharply lower demand because of the coronavirus pandemic. U.S.-traded crude oil prices have hovered around $20 a barrel in recent sessions, the lowest in nearly two decades.
