  • 6 years ago

On Saturday Reuters said that Iran’s oil minister has accused U.S. President Donald Trump of insulting OPEC by ordering it to increase production and reduce prices. Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh added that Iranian output and exports have not changed as a result of U.S. pressure. Trump on Wednesday accused OPEC of driving fuel prices higher, and urged Saudi Arabia to pump more if it wanted Washington to continue protecting it against its top rival Iran.
