@Cyber LibertyTrump said about Syrian oilfields/oil, "And, number three, it can help us, because we should be able to take some also.†And, Trump wants Exxon-Mobil to go there and get the oil.
The oil fields belong to Syria,
not Trump. Exxon-Mobil is not going to send their people there to get killed for Syria's oil. I looked up the companies who have taken the oil out of the ground there and had refining plants there, and there are several foreign oil companies through the years, but Exxon-Mobil has not been there. Earth Scientist Bob, retired from Exxon-Mobil, says the oil fields there are not large, relatively speaking. It is usual Trump "magic thinking" to think he owns the oil because our military is there.
From Wikipedia:
"Syria is a relatively small oil producer, that accounted for just 0.5% of the global production in 2010, falling to less than 0.05% by 2016. Although Syria is not a major oil exporter by Middle Eastern standards, oil is a major component of the Syrian economy. Syria's oil sector has been hit by the Civil War and international sanctions imposed on Syria."
"Syria’s two biggest oil companies are the Syrian Petroleum Company (SPC), which is owned by the Syrian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, and Al-Furat Petroleum Company, which is 50% owned by SPC and the other 50% foreign owned. The joint venture currently includes SPC with 50%, Anglo-Dutch Shell with 32%, and the remainder held by Himalaya Energy Syria, a consortium of China National Petroleum Company and India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation."
