President Donald Trump met with top oil industry executives at the White House on April 29, 2026, to discuss energy policy and the ongoing stalemate over Iran's nuclear program, according to sources familiar with the meeting.
The closed-door session included CEOs from major U.S. oil companies and focused on potential impacts of renewed sanctions on Iran, as diplomatic efforts to curb Tehran's nuclear activities have stalled. The meeting comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and volatile global oil prices.
Administration officials have not released a detailed readout, but participants described the discussions as candid. The White House is weighing options to tighten enforcement of existing sanctions while exploring ways to stabilize energy markets.
Iran has continued to expand its uranium enrichment program beyond limits set by the 2015 nuclear deal, which the U.S. withdrew from in 2018. European mediators have failed to revive negotiations in recent months.
