Ο Αμερικανός πρόεδρος, Μπάρακ Ομπάμα δήλωσε ότι η ΒΡ συμφώνησε στη δημιουργία ενός ταμείου με κεφάλαιο 20 δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων, από το οποίο θα καλυφθούν οι ζημιές που έχουν προκληθεί από την πετρελαιοκηλίδα στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού.
Μετά τη συνάντηση με τα στελέχη της εταιρίας, ο Ομπάμα δήλωσε ότι τα χρήματα θα ......

....... τοποθετηθούν ως εχέγγυο σε τρίτη πλευρά, στην οποία θα ανατεθεί και η διαχείριση του ταμείου. Κατέστησε επίσης σαφές ότι το ποσό αυτό δεν θεωρείται πλαφόν ως προς τις υποχρεώσεις της εταιρίας.
«Οι υποχρεώσεις της ΒΡ για αυτή την κηλίδα είναι σημαντικές», δήλωσε στους δημοσιογράφους ο Αμερικανός πρόεδρος. Πρόσθεσε πάντως ότι η εταιρία είναι ισχυρή και βιώσιμη. «Είμαι απολύτως σίγουρος ότι η ΒΡ θα είναι σε θέση να ανταποκριθεί στις υποχρεώσεις της στον Κόλπο του Μεξικού και στον αμερικανικό λαό», δήλωσε ο Αμερικανός πρόεδρος.
O πρόεδρος της πετρελαϊκής εταιρίας ΒΡ ζήτησε συγγνώμη από τον αμερικανικό λαό για την καταστροφική πετρελαιοκηλίδα που προκλήθηκε από πετρελαιοπηγή της εταιρίας στις ακτές του Κόλπου του Μεξικού. Η εταιρία ανακοίνωσε επίσης ότι δεν θα δώσει εφέτος μερίσματα στους μετόχους της.
