WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump and U.S. oil executives did not discuss taking over Ukraine’s power plants during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday, Energy Secretary Chris Wright told reporters, in response to a question from a reporter.

Trump met with the oil industry executives as he seeks to boost domestic energy production in the midst of falling crude prices and looming trade wars.
