HOUSTON, March 12 (Reuters) - U.S. oil producers will meet with President Donald Trump next week, leading industry group the American Petroleum Institute said on Wednesday.

Among the topics for discussion are tariffs, trade and exports of liquefied natural gas, an industry source told Reuters.

The API, which counts oil majors ExxonMobil XOM.N and Chevron CVX.N as members, helped put together the meeting.

"We appreciate the opportunity to discuss how American oil and natural gas is driving economic growth, strengthening our national security and supporting consumers with the President and his team," API spokesperson, Bethany Williams, told Reuters when asked about the meeting.
