US President Donald Trump has demanded that oil giants ExxonMobil and Chevron lower gasoline prices for American consumers, citing excessive profits generated from the conflict in Iran.

Speaking at the White House on August 3, Trump criticized the earnings reported by the energy giants, which spiked following market supply disruptions caused by hostilities in the Middle East.

Retail fuel costs have climbed sharply across the United States, with nationwide gasoline prices averaging about $4.10 per gallon compared to $2.98 per gallon prior to the conflict.

Trump expressed explicit dissatisfaction with the corporate performance figures while urging companies to provide financial relief to the public.
