On June 24, Trump posted on social media platform Truth Social, stating, "Major oil companies are not reducing gas prices at the pump, even though they are purchasing crude oil at much lower prices."
He added, "Crude oil prices are plummeting, which means consumers are getting ripped off." Trump emphasized, "I have instructed the Department of Justice to investigate this issue immediately, and gas prices need to come down much faster than they currently are."
These remarks publicly express frustration that the decrease in international oil prices is not being adequately reflected in consumer prices. Trump has consistently highlighted reducing energy prices as a key priority for stabilizing inflation and easing household burdens.
