Trump, 79, Wanders Off to Gaze at Nonexistent Building

President Donald Trump kicked off a high-stakes meeting with almost two dozen global oil executives by wandering off to admire construction on his White House ballroom.

The bizarre moment took place after the 79-year-old president sat down to welcome the leaders of companies such as Chevron, Exxon, and ConocoPhillips as part of a critical effort to rebuild Venezuela’s dilapidated oil infrastructure and control its oil exports.
