Washington, DC: US President Donald Trump has called on oil companies to reduce retail fuel prices, while claiming that Chevron’s recent success was driven by his administration’s policies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to remarks made by Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth during an interview, saying the company had benefited from the policies of the Trump administration.
Trump wrote, “Mike Wirth, Chairman and CEO of Chevron, just gave, in an interview with the fabulous Maria Bartiromo, all of the reasons that his company is doing so well. The only thing he conveniently forgot to mention is that, without the genius, foresight, strength, and stability, of the TRUMP Administration, the Oil Industry, and our Country itself, would be DEAD!”
He also pointed to Chevron’s return to Venezuela, saying the company was now back stronger than before and expected to earn significant profits. Trump added that the same applied to other oil companies.
He concluded by urging energy firms, saying, “Get your consumer (retail!) Oil Prices DOWN, NOW! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
