美国总统特朗普周一敦促美国石油企业采取行动缓解汽油价格,称这些能源巨头因伊朗战争推高油价而“赚得过多”。
特朗普此番言论发表之际,作为国际油价基准的布伦特原油周一暴跌逾4%,跌至每桶约84美元,市场对通过外交途径结束冲突抱有希望。但目前油价仍远高于战前水平,美国汽油价格也升至每加仑4美元以上,而战前约为每加仑3美元。
哥伦比亚广播公司近期的一项民调显示,约一半美国人表示高企的燃油成本正给他们带来经济困难。约八成受访民众认为,特朗普政府未足够重视降低消费者物价。
周一,特朗普预测伊朗冲突结束后油价将“暴跌”。他还特别批评雪佛龙和埃克森美孚从高油价中牟利,而这场战争基本中断了霍尔木兹海峡的原油运输,推高了油价。
“但他们赚得太多了,太多了。雪佛龙,赚得太多了。埃克森美孚,也是。赚得太多了,”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室签署行政命令时说道。
“我对此并不满意”
这位总统敦促石油企业采取更多措施帮助消费者。
“看看其中一家公司,他们的利润是前一年的12倍,他们应该把其中一部分返还给公众,而且最好下调零售价格,也就是消费者价格,”特朗普周一表示。“我要明确地说:我对此并不满意。”
埃克森美孚拒绝置评。雪佛龙未立即回应置评请求。
美国前总统乔·拜登——特朗普在白宫的前任——在其任期内通胀高企之际,也曾抨击石油企业的暴利行为。
周一早些时候,特朗普在接受福克斯新闻主持人玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫周日的采访时,直接批评了雪佛龙首席执行官迈克·沃思。特朗普在社交媒体帖子中还表示,沃思未能赞扬特朗普政府对能源行业的帮助。
“他 conveniently 忘了提的唯一一件事是,如果没有特朗普政府的天才眼光、远见、力量和稳定,石油行业乃至我们的国家本身都将完蛋!”特朗普发帖称。
特朗普还表示,雪佛龙得益于在委内瑞拉的运营。该公司高管此前曾表示,增加从委内瑞拉进口原油有助于抑制美国汽油价格。
在美国,石油企业并不直接决定燃油价格。根据美国能源信息署的数据,原油成本占每加仑汽油成本的51%,是决定加油站油价的最大因素。
包括将燃油运往全美加油站的成本以及零售商运营成本在内的营销和分销费用,占汽油总成本的另外11%。炼油——将原油分解为不同成分的过程——占燃油价格的20%。

Trump says oil companies should cut gas prices after making “too much money”

President Trump on Monday urged U.S. oil companies to take action to ease gasoline prices, saying that the energy giants “made too much money” from high oil prices due to the Iran war.
Mr. Trump’s remarks come as Brent crude, the international benchmark, fell more than 4% on Monday to about $84 a barrel amid hopes for diplomatic progress in ending the conflict. Yet oil prices remain considerably higher than their pre-war levels, and U.S. gasoline prices are above $4 a gallon, up from about $3 a gallon before the war.
In a recent CBS News poll, about half of Americans said elevated fuel costs are causing them financial difficulties. About eight in 10 of those polled said the Trump administration isn’t focusing enough on lowering consumer prices.
On Monday, Mr. Trump predicted that oil prices would “drop through the floor” when the Iran conflict is over. He also specifically criticized Chevron and ExxonMobil for profiting from higher oil prices, which have surged as the war largely halted the flow of crude transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
“But they made too much money, too much money. Chevron, too much money. Exxon Mobil, too much. Too much money,” Mr. Trump said Monday at the Oval Office during an executive order signing.
“I’m not happy about it”
The president pressed oil companies to do more to help consumers.
“When you look at one company, where they made 12 times what they made the year before, they’re going to give some of that back to the public, and they better cut the retail price, the consumer price,” Mr. Trump said Monday. “I’ll say it loud and clear: I’m not happy about it.”
ExxonMobil declined to comment. Chevron didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Former President Joe Biden, Mr. Trump’s predecessor in the White House, also attacked oil companies for their profits as inflation spiked during his tenure.
Earlier on Monday, Mr. Trump directly criticized Chevron CEO Mike Wirth in a Sunday interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo. In a social media post, Mr. Trump also said Wirth had failed to praise the Trump administration for helping the energy industry.
“The only thing he conveniently forgot to mention is that, without the genius, foresight, strength, and stability, of the TRUMP Administration, the Oil Industry, and our Country itself, would be DEAD!,” Mr. Trump posted.
Trump also said Chevron is benefiting from operating in Venezuela. Executives from the company have said that increased crude imports from Venezuela are helping curb U.S. gas prices.
Oil companies don’t set fuel prices in the U.S. According to the Energy Information Administration, crude oil accounts for 51% of the cost of a gallon of gas, making it the biggest factor in determining prices at the pump.
Marketing and distribution, which include the cost of transporting fuel to gas stations across the U.S. and retailers’ operating costs, make up another 11% of the total cost of gas. Refining — the process of breaking down crude oil into different components — accounts for 20% of fuel prices.
