Trump calls for probe into gasoline price ‘gouging’

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he has instructed the Department of Justice to immediately investigate oil companies. The probe focuses on why gasoline pump prices have not decreased in alignment with falling crude oil costs. Trump accused these companies of gouging consumers by maintaining higher prices despite the lower costs of production. The Department of Justice is now tasked with examining these pricing practices to determine if oil companies are unfairly charging customers.
