President Donald Trump of the United States, US, on Friday said the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, is making too much money.
Trump lamented that OPEC has kept the price of oil too high for nearly three years of the war between Ukraine and Russia.
The US President in his first days in office had centered his focus on the OPEC and alliance of oil exporting countries.
Addressing journalists during his visit to Western North Carolina, Trump said: βOne way to stop it quickly is for OPEC to stop making so much money.
βAnd they drop the price of oil because they have it nice and high.
βAnd if you have it high, then that war is not going to end so easily. So, OPEC ought to get on the ball and drop the price of oil. And that war will stop right away.β
