Update: For the umpteenth time this year, President Trump has lashed out at OPEC over soaring oil prices (and therefore gas prices): "The OPEC Monopoly must remember that gas prices are up & they are doing little to help. If anything, they are driving prices higher."
Then Trump escalated his rhetoric, appearing to threaten the withdrawal of support unless action is taken "...the United States defends many of their members for very little $’s. This must be a two way street. REDUCE PRICING NOW! "

The OPEC Monopoly must remember that gas prices are up & they are doing little to help. If anything, they are driving prices higher as the United States defends many of their members for very little $’s. This must be a two way street. REDUCE PRICING NOW!
