Former US President Trump criticized Chevron amid rising fuel prices and surging oil company profits.

Former President Donald Trump publicly condemned these companies, urging them to reduce fuel prices immediately. This has sparked concern among consumers and investors as Chevron rewarded its staff with bonuses after profits surged, intensifying debates around corporate responsibility and fuel affordability during geopolitical tensions.
