Amid the Iranian threats of shutting off global oil flows by choking the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump is issuing an urgent call for stable oil prices and immediate increases of U.S. oil supply for the world.
"EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "I'M WATCHING! YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!"
Just days after Trump's strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, Russia and Iran are discussing their defense and security agreements, and the world awaits what Iran's response will be — whether it is a choking of global oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz or something more significant.
"To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!" Trump wrote in another Truth Social post. "And I mean NOW!!!"
The message was well received and given a response quickly from Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
"We're on it!" Wright wrote on his official X account Monday. "Thanks to President Trump's leadership, America's energy security is stronger than ever before."
