Trump praises Tillerson: "He goes into a country, takes the oil, goes into another country...

But I want to thank you all for being here. We have great respect for your countries, we have great respect for our world. We have a man that I wanted right from the beginning, Rex Tillerson. Now these lights are bright but he’s around here some place. Where’s our Rex? Wow. What a job. Thank you very much, thanks, Rex. I think it’s tougher than he thought. He’s led this charmed life. He goes into a country, takes the oil, goes into another country. It’s tough dealing with these politicians, right? He’s going to be so incredible. And I’m very proud, I’m very proud of everybody, the cabinet members. We have put together a team, I think the likes of which has never been assembled. So, we’ll have further reports in the years to come, but I think you’ll see that.[/blockquote]

But it was probably just a "joke". Typical bully excuse.

Why is everyone would afraid of these guys?

Not in the rapacious, pirate-like manner that seems stuck in Trump's excuse for a mind. Complex production-sharing contracts are negotiated with a nation prior to exploration efforts being allowed, and the nation receives a portion of any production proceeds which are realized. That's how it is in the Real World, rather than the Baby-Man's fevered imagination.
