Biden Blasts Oil Giants’ Profits In Letter To CEOs

June 15, 2022 Democrats, Joe Biden

President Joe Biden on Wednesday called on U.S. oil refining companies to produce more, saying they need to help alleviate the burden of high prices on consumers. “At a time of war – historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable,” the president said in a letter to oil companies including Exxon and Chevron.

The national average for a gallon of gas crossed $5 over the weekend for the first time on record, according to AAA.
