Donald Trump says oil execs have made too much money since blockade of Hormuz Strait • FRANCE 24

As a consequence of the Iran war and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices have soared. The profits of the industry’s biggest companies have also skyrocketed, and US President Donald Trump believes they’re making far too much money. He’s calling on them to lower prices. With the midterm elections just three months away, he’s potentially concerned about growing anger among Americans. Story by Charlotte Hughes and France 2.

  4. So, whats the problm? Just increase tax or charge windfall tax against oil corp. Its been done b4. Again, taco is all talk no action when it comes to corp & the rich.

  5. Well

    The blame eventually comes back on the administration that started a nonsensial war against a far from middle east country with so much control on the Strait of Hormuz without realizing it

  6. The news really needs to stop reporting what Trump says as if he doesn't have dementia or hasn't been lying nonstop about everything for decades.

  12. He caused it by attacking Iran, canceling alternative energy projects and “drill baby drill”. ! Why are people still fooled by this guy ?

  14. So the guy who has made billions off his presidency condemns other greedy people for their greed? That’s too rich.

  15. Funny thing is, if he’s making money with them he ain’t complaining 🤣🤣🤣 he cracks me up. Only when Trump makes a buck to he doesn’t give sh€t what the price is🤣🤣🤣🤣

  19. Although I do think they are charging much more than they should or need to, I don't believe trump is sincere. I think that was just a political show to try to make the public think he's on the side of "we, the people." I hope I am wrong.
