President Trump walked in at 11:05 to a large rotunda where five large screens are set up to show various kinds of investment - starting with "Making Energy Great Again."

He is speaking to attendees out of earshot.

He turned to the reporters and said "$440 billion"

"This is the most powerful woman in the petroleum business," Trump said of Vicki Holly's

"We appreciate it, the U.S. appreciates it,"

Trump was gifted a box containing a drop of oil.

"This is one drop of oil," he said cracking jokes about it.
