Trump says oil companies making 'too much money' from Iran shortage

US President Donald Trump criticised major oil companies, including Chevron and Exxon Mobil, for making "too much money" because of high prices resulting from the crude shortage caused by the Iran war, and called on the industry to help keep fuel prices down.

"I don't like it. They're making too much money, okay? Based on a shortage, they're making too much money," Trump told journalists on Monday at the White House.
