Trump’s tweet came as the price of oil sits at a three year high of $69 a barrel. CNBC noted that Trump is “likely referring to OPEC’s production level agreement with Russia and other producers put in place last year.”
The agreement is set to expire at the end of the year.
Trump has long railed against OPEC before taking office saying:
$5 a gallon gas and we have yet to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline. OPEC is laughing at us.

Do we still want a President who bows to the Saudis and lets OPEC rip us off? Make America strong, vote for @MittRomney .
