US President Donald Trump tweeted urging OPEC to reduce oil prices.
We protect the countries of the Middle East, they would not be safe for very long without us, and yet they continue to push for higher and higher oil prices! We will remember. The OPEC monopoly must get prices down now!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2018
Earlier, Trump has already accused the cartel of inflating prices for oil and demanded their reduction.
In Algeria on September 23, the meeting of the OEPC ministerial monitoring committee will take place, where it is planned to discuss the general situation on the oil market and the countries' compliance with their obligations by the end of 2018, as well as the model for further cooperation beginning in 2019.
