Keep oil prices down, I’m watching”: Trump issues warning to “everyone” after US strikes on Iran
In a sharp warning on Monday, US President Donald Trump urged “everyone,” including businesses and individuals, to keep prices in check, cautioning that the rising costs could “play into the hands of the enemy.”
Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump posted a strongly worded message calling “everyone” to help control prices amid ongoing economic concerns.
Though he did not name specific sectors, the remark appeared directed at US oil companies and possibly OPEC nations, amid fresh concerns over global energy stability.
“EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON’T DO IT!” Trump posted.
Earlier on Sunday, EuroNews reported that Iran is considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategically vital chokepoints in the world, and any blockade by Tehran would pose serious risks for Europe following US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear installations.
