President Donald Trump issued a warning Monday on Truth Social, calling on gas station operators across the U.S. to immediately reduce their pump prices. His demand came as the national average for regular gasoline stood at about $3.86 per gallon, down from a month earlier but still well above the previous year’s level, according to AAA. Trump argued that crude oil had fallen to roughly $68 a barrel and was trending lower, making current retail prices unjustified. He suggested stations target around $2.50 per gallon and renewed his criticism of California’s fuel taxes. The post follows Trump’s earlier directive for the Justice Department to investigate whether energy companies are illegally gouging consumers, a probe he announced amid recent volatility in global oil markets tied to the Israel-Iran conflict.
