KEEP IT DOWN! Trump Tells Everyone to Keep Oil Prices Down After Iran Attacks

Trump followed up with another post addressed to the U.S. Department of Energy, encouraging it to “drill, baby, drill” and saying, “I mean now.”

U.S. 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.

Global benchmark Brent oil prices oscillated on Monday, touching a five-month high before falling more than 1% to $76.10 a barrel as oil and gas transit continued on tankers from the Middle East after U.S. air strikes against Iran over the weekend.

The United States could tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the world’s largest emergency crude oil stash, in the case of severe interruptions. But the Trump administration has criticized Biden’s use of the SPR after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.
