Trump Tells Chevron to Lower Gas Prices Amid Ongoing Iran Conflict

Former President Donald Trump has called on Chevron to lower gasoline prices for American consumers. In a public statement, he criticized the company's CEO Mike Wirth for not acknowledging the positive impact of his administration on the oil industry.

Trump claimed that without his policies, the oil industry and the country would be 'DEAD!' He pointed out that Chevron has returned to Venezuela, despite being expelled from the region earlier, and is now profiting thanks to the groundwork laid by his administration.

The demand for lower prices comes amid a significant increase in fuel prices due to rising tensions surrounding the ongoing conflict with Iran. Economists have warned of potential long-term repercussions for the economy, contradicting Trump's claims that fuel prices would 'come down like a rock' once hostilities cease.
