U.S. President Donald Trump says he has ordered an investigation into major oil companies over gasoline prices that, in his view, are not falling enough. Both reports say the order comes amid political pressure on Trump as the administration faces criticism related to the wider impact of the war in the Middle East. The outlets describe Trump’s claim that gasoline prices have remained elevated despite expectations for them to drop, prompting him to seek scrutiny of how oil and fuel pricing decisions are made and whether companies are acting in line with public interest. The reporting focuses on Trump’s announcement and the rationale he provides: concern that prices are staying high for consumers. Neither outlet provides detailed findings from the probe or specifies timelines, legal basis, or the specific scope of the investigation. The reports present the announcement as a response to continued high gasoline costs and as part of Trump’s broader efforts to address consumer-impact issues while navigating criticism tied to ongoing international developments.
