Trump Demands US Oil Prices Drop Amid Industry's Record Profits
US President Donald Trump has called on oil companies to lower their prices for American consumers, attributing his administration's 'genius' to the industry's record profits.
In a post to Truth Social on Monday, Trump wrote that without his administration's leadership, 'the Oil Industry, and our Country itself would be DEAD!'
He directed oil companies like Chevron to 'get your consumer (retail!) Oil Prices DOWN, NOW!', targeting those who are 'expecting to make a fortune.'
The post comes after crude oil prices fell over six percent following Trump's announcement that negotiations with Iran would begin.
