President Trump is taking decisive action to protect America’s economic security by demanding that oil prices remain low following U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
In a bold Truth Social post, Trump warned oil producers that raising prices would only benefit America’s enemies in the Middle East, immediately sending oil futures tumbling.
The President’s America-first energy stance shows his commitment to keeping costs down for everyday Americans despite growing international tensions.
Trump’s message could not be clearer as he posted in all capital letters: “EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON’T DO IT!”
The warning came as markets braced for potential Iranian retaliation that could disrupt global oil supplies.
The Commander in Chief followed his warning with direct orders to his administration, posting: “To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!”
This call for increased domestic production aligns perfectly with Trump’s campaign promises to utilize America’s vast energy resources and reduce dependence on foreign oil.
Trump’s warnings immediately impacted markets, with U.S. crude oil prices falling by 1.02% to $73.09 per barrel and Brent crude dropping 0.95% to $76.28 per barrel.
This swift market response demonstrates Trump’s influence over global energy markets and his commitment to keeping energy costs affordable for American families.
The warning is critical as Iran may attempt to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, a channel through which nearly a quarter of the world’s oil supply moves.
Iran’s move could dramatically increase global oil prices, hurting American consumers and businesses just as Trump works to strengthen the economy.
While Democrats previously blamed Trump for high gas prices, his proactive stance shows he is determined to prevent energy price spikes that would hurt working Americans.
Unlike the previous administration’s anti-fossil fuel agenda, Trump continues to champion American energy independence as a matter of national security.
Despite the tensions following U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, Wall Street showed remarkable resilience with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 200 points.
This market confidence reflects trust in Trump’s handling of national security and economic matters.
In addition, former Trump administration economist Kevin Hassett noted minimal disruption in oil markets despite the military action.
He pointed to significant flexibility in the global oil supply due to reserves held by other countries, suggesting America is well-positioned to weather any temporary disruptions.
Trump’s energy policies continue to fulfill his campaign promises to utilize America’s abundant natural resources, reduce energy costs, and fight inflation.
By demanding oil prices remain low while increasing domestic production, the President is protecting American families from the economic fallout of necessary military action against Iran’s nuclear program.
