"Trump donor Harold Hamm’s oil company Continental Resources announced a deal Wednesday to drill in Venezuela.
Continental signed a memorandum of understanding with Venezuela’s state-run oil company that would allow it to operate in a 126,000 acre-area of the oil-rich Orinoco Belt, according to a press release.
“Continental was built to recognize great resource opportunities and have the conviction to pursue them,” Hamm said in a written statement.
“What this company is doing today builds on that foundation while taking Continental to an entirely new level. I could not be more proud of the company, our people and the future we are building,” he added."
