President Donald Trump, whose family and political aides have faced scrutiny over their ties to Russia, rejected a bid by Exxon Mobil Corp. to sidestep U.S. sanctions against Moscow and resume an oil venture with a politically powerful Russian energy firm.

The announcement Friday comes as the White House pushes to firm up the president's foreign-policy and domestic agenda as he nears his 100th day in office next week.

Mr. Trump's decision to block Exxon Mobil, until the end of last year headed by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, also shows how efforts to build bridges with Russian President Vladimir Putin are proving difficult, senior U.S. officials said.

This is stupid.

=======================================
Extremely.
I know Tillison is probably pissed about it.
Who is Trump caving to? McCain? Graham? McConnell?
It doesn't make sense. Exxon working in Russia does not do one iota of harm to US national interests.
Bad move on Trump's part.

Stupid indeed.Just toadying up to Israel which doesn't like Russia's interference with its expansion in ME and into Ukraine. Stupid because keeping Exxon out of Russia precludes the use of the world's best oil development technology for oil that's powering most of Europe; works against company profits and dividends for mostly American shareholders.
