“The Trump administration has been positive towards the energy industry. As long as what they are doing is in the interest of all and the US economy is growing. we are happy.“ Nasser said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“The whole oil industry is benefiting from the current (US) administration.“ Nasser said.
