"Addison also attended the meeting Trump had with oil executives at the WH and was also involved in his company’s efforts to secure a $250 million deal for Venezuelan crude. The deal kick-started the president’s controversial plan to sell up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil."

"Financial Times: The first US sale of the Venezuelan crude oil was to a company whose senior member had donated to Trump’s re-election campaign. The sale was conducted last week to a company called Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol, donated $6 million to PACs backing Trump’s re-election campaign."
