Trump presses oil majors to slash US gas prices amid Iran talks
TL;DR
US President Donald Trump urged Chevron to immediately cut gasoline prices for American consumers, claiming the administration's policies boosted the oil industry as markets fluctuated amid renewed Iran-related tensions. He attacked Chevron CEO Mike Wirth for not crediting his administration and urged other oil companies to lower prices now. With Brent crude around $83 a barrel after a recent dip, economists warn any relief could be temporary as geopolitical risks persist and Iran’s negotiating stance remains unclear.
