The White House is summoning oil executives to discuss potential investment in Venezuela, and while a preliminary list of attendees features the big names of US oil companies – Chevron, Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips – it also includes several smaller independents and private equity-backed players.

The meeting with US President Donald Trump is scheduled for Friday at 2:30pm (19:30 GMT).
