Donald Trump has criticised oil companies for “making too much money” from the global energy market disruption caused by his war on Iran. “They’re making too much money based on a shortage,” he told reporters at the White House on Monday evening. ExxonMobil: too much money,” Trump said. Trump criticised oil company profits weeks after warning energy retailers to cut their prices as he nears the November midterm elections with flagging approval ratings. “Oil prices have come down so much and we are not seeing anything at the pump by comparison the way they should be,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
