US president hits out at ExxonMobil and Chevron, saying they should ‘give some of that back to the public’
Donald Trump has criticised oil companies for “making too much money” from the global energy market disruption caused by his war on Iran.
Brent crude had been trading at about $70 (£52) a barrel before the first US-Israeli strikes at the end of February, but by the end of April it had soared as high as $126 and is now trading at about $85 a barrel.
The US president took aim at the windfall profits revealed last week by ExxonMobil and Chevron, and said the companies would “give some of that back to the public”.

And by to the public he means himself
Yeah he is looking at them, so he is the public with his goonies
He says this as though “oil companies and defense contractors making massive profits” isn’t the point of imperialist wars.
What an odd thing to say on taco Tuesday
Amazing bit
Dang someone should tell him about Venezuela
