The Supreme Court agreed on Oct. 3 to consider Exxon Mobil’s bid to secure compensation from Cuban state-owned companies for energy-related assets nationalized decades ago by the island nation’s communist government.

The court did not explain its decision to grant the petition in Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporacion Cimex. No justices dissented.
