President Donald Trump openly criticized Chevron’s CEO, Mike Wirth, for his lack of gratitude toward the administration, demanding a reduction in gas prices. This criticism follows the oil company’s announcement of a significant quarterly profit, one of its highest in recent years.
On Monday morning, Trump took to social media, aiming his displeasure at Chevron. He expressed frustration that the administration is not receiving what he views as appropriate acknowledgment for Chevron’s financial achievements.
This situation arises as gas prices have been averaging over $4 per gallon, causing concern among voters. On Saturday, the average national gas price stood at $4.10, affecting drivers across the country facing increased fuel costs.
