US President Donald Trump says major oil companies are earning “too much money” during the current oil shortage linked to the war involving Iran. Speaking to journalists at the White House, Trump argues that high fuel and crude prices are driven by the shortage and that some oil firms benefit disproportionately from that situation. He specifically names major companies including Chevron and Exxon Mobil. Trump says he wants the industry to do more to help keep fuel prices down for consumers, describing his position as critical of companies’ profits amid the pricing pressure associated with the shortage. While Trump frames his comments as a response to consumer costs and market conditions tied to Iran, the reports do not provide new data on company earnings, specific pricing changes, or any formal policy actions announced alongside the remarks. The accounts agree that Trump’s criticism is directed at oil companies’ profitability during a shortage scenario attributed to the Iran conflict, and that he calls on the industry to reduce the impact on consumers.
