Trump asks gasoline dealers to lower prices "immediately"

Donald Trump sent a clear message to gasoline traders, demanding that they lower prices immediately, emphasizing that speculation is illegal and that, in the event that distributors do not comply, they will face "big problems".

On the Truth Social platform, Trump suggested a price of around $2.50 per gallon. Last week, he called on the Department of Justice to investigate oil companies for not lowering pump prices, accusing them of 'exploiting' consumers. The rise in oil prices has been influenced by recent conflicts between the US, Israel, and Iran, which have raised concerns among consumers.

In the context of the midterm elections, high gasoline prices pose a challenge for Republicans. Although diplomatic efforts have led to a slight decrease in prices, tensions in the region continue to affect market stability.
