Making America greater than ever before: US transparency reversal stings Canadian, European oil firms. From Rigzone:
  • Senate, Friday: passed a resolution to overturn the "resource extraction rule," an Obama administration regulation that required companies to disclose taxes and other payments to foreign governments
  • President Trump expected to soon sign the resolution killing the rule
  • the rule was among a handful of regulations ushered in during the final months of Obama's presidency
  • overturning the regulation leaves the Canadian and European natural resource companies with far more stringent reporting standards for payments to foreign governments than US behemoths like Exxon Mobil and Chevron
  • could provide American companies a glimpse of their rivals' negotiating tactics around the globe, without having to tip their hands in return
Much more at the link.

So much could be said; there are so many story lines here; just best to move on. But again, President Trump working at making American greater than ever before.

Again, much more at the link. Making American greater than ever before.
