Where was your outcry when Guyana was on the EU blacklist preventing economic trade and investments under a Jagdeo presidency??
Is that what you are hoping to return to???
And Exxon is NOT the only company that has the resources to extract oil from Guyana's earth. If that is the consequence, so be it!
And FYI, Trump is out of office come November 2020. New ambassadors and US officials will be in power. We already have good contacts in the Democratic Party to ensure they don't pull a Pompeo.
Honey, I would not go out on a limb thinking the US will suddenly change course if Trump is voted out. And bear in mind, he will be there until Feb 2021. It will take 72 hour complete the job in Guyana. Furthermore, Clinton was very remorseful at what he deemed the destruction of Guyana by the PNC with impunity. He viewed it as a grave injustice to the people of Guyana. Additionally, don't forget how the PNC treated the Carter Center, a much revered US democracy proponent force.
On Exxon, you are incorrect, first, there are not many companies with the capability to operate at such depths.
As a lawyer, I'm surprised you believe the GoG can just reassign the territory to any other company. In a perverse way, Exxon is now in the stronger position by striking oil. The asset is now theirs and they cannot be deprived. If they act under USG directive, nothing Guyana can do but fret and frown.
Of course, the PNC can try the Nationalization route however, try that and see how quickly US marines will be storming over Guyana.
