US President Donald Trump says that the war with Iran has turned the US into a fortune in oil and gas, and that prices at the pump have dropped very quickly:
"This is another one of those traps. I don't like to say it. Because of the Middle East, you know when you say the last seven months, you've produced more oil, more everything, you've made more money than you've ever made. do you know why What happened seven months ago? the war Now when I say that, they say, oh, it's so terrible what he's saying. Our country is making a fortune while people have to pay more at the pump. Paying more at the pump is going to go down really fast. okay? But here's what's important. It's really good. Our country is making more capital than it has ever made. The oil in the Middle East, they get it from Texas. They get it from Louisiana. They get it from Alaska. We make a fortune. Now people will say, you have to be very careful. Well, they'll do it anyway because they won't put in my little closing sentences. But we're making an absolute fortune more than we ever have. And we never did Texas never did numbers like that. And I looked at it and it said, in the last seven months, Texas has done better with oil and gas than that. do you know why Because seven months ago we started. So with all that, the ones we care about are our people at the pump. And those numbers will start to drop very quickly. ".
