TRUMP TELLS OPEC TO LOWER OIL PRICES

Trump tells OPEC to lower oil prices

President Donald Trump on Thursday issued a fresh call on the OPEC oil cartel to lower crude prices, saying the United States was providing Middle Eastern energy giants with security.

“We protect the countries of the Middle East, they would not be safe for very long without us, and yet they continue to push for higher and higher oil prices!” he tweeted. “We will remember. The OPEC monopoly must get prices down now!”
