Excluded from White House meeting due to political friction over Venezuela comments, signaling reduced policy access.

ExxonMobil was left out of a recent White House meeting of major oil executives on US gasoline prices, according to people familiar with the talks. The gathering focused on refinery capacity and retail fuel pricing, and the administration pressed attending companies on actions that could affect US drivers. ExxonMobil was reportedly excluded after prior political friction related to its comments on potential investments in Venezuela. The move raises fresh questions about ExxonMobil's access to senior policymakers at a time of close scrutiny of US energy policy and industry pricing practices.
