US president hits out at ExxonMobil and Chevron, saying they should ‘give some of that back to the public’
Donald Trump has criticised oil companies for “making too much money” from the global energy market disruption caused by his war on Iran.
Brent crude had been trading at about $70 (£52) a barrel before the first US-Israeli strikes at the end of February, but by the end of April it had soared as high as $126 and is now trading at about $85 a barrel.
The US president took aim at the windfall profits revealed last week by ExxonMobil and Chevron, and said the companies would “give some of that back to the public”.
Yeah! only corrupt presidents are allowed to make money from war!
/S
“President has no idea how commodity pricing works”
He’s trying to blame oil companies for his stupid war.
Making too much money that he’s not getting enough of a cut of
Fixed
What ever happened to his “Freedom Fuel Network”?
Probably unrelated… /s
What he’s really saying is that they’re not paying him a big enough cut.
This fucking asshole made two billion in a year. And he’s a brainless baboon. He has a lot of nerve talking about anyone else making “too much money”.
He’s getting blamed for high gas prices and he’s passing the blame as usual.
apart from distracting, it’s just a call to give him a bigger cut or … no more war for you my oil buddies!
Might he be concerned about the upcoming midterm elections - perhaps more so than the recent huge cost of living challenges facing US families?
Also:
from the global energy market disruption caused by his war on Iran.
Very true.
