"Keep Oil Prices Down. I Am Watching": Trump Amid Middle East Tension
US President Donald Trump expressed a desire on Monday to see oil prices kept down amid fears that the aftermath of the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities could cause them to spike. "Everyone, keep oil prices down, I'm watching! You're playing into the hands of the enemy, don't do it," Trump wrote in all caps on his Truth Social platform. Trump followed up with another post addressed to the US Department of Energy, encouraging it to "drill, baby, drill" and saying, "I mean now." US Energy Secretary Chris Wright responded, "We're on it!" in a post on X. It was not immediately clear what the energy department could do to boost oil and gas drilling, which hit record highs during the previous administration of former President Joe Biden and which Trump wants to take even higher. The Energy Department did not immediately respond to a question on Wright's comment.
