United States President, Donald Trump has set his sights on a new opponent- the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) which Nigeria is a member of.

Oil price surged to its highest level in three-and-a-half years following OPEC major player, Saudi Arabia’s expression of its desire to see oil price reach $80 per barrel and plans to list part of its huge national oil company, Saudi Aramco. It is not yet clear where the IPO for the company will hold. There was also news of a drop in US stockpiles of oil indicating increased demand helping to push prices up.

The price of oil surged to $74.74 per barrel for London Brent and $69.56 for New York crude on Thursday.

President Trump is not pleased with this and took to Twitter on Friday tweeting:

“Looks like OPEC is at it again. With record amounts of Oil all over the place, including the fully loaded ships at sea, Oil prices are artificially Very High! No good and will not be accepted!”

It is unclear what Trump plans to do about the increasing price of oil. However, for a country like Nigeria which relies heavily on oil, a drop in the price as advocated by the United States President would have a negative effect on its revenue.

President Buhari is scheduled to visit the White House for a meeting with Trump on April 30, and it will be interesting to see if oil is part of the agenda. It definitely should be at this point.

Donald Trump should be a comic character not a president, Buhari should be a backup artiste not a president.

Love him or hate him. Trump is an action man. Better than gayobama or war monger hilary

A welcomed move.

Even if the oil price were to hit $1000 per barrel, Buhari would still be talking about corruption and blaming Nigerians.

Nothing concerns Trump with Buhari. Stop your rubbish comparison.

Some lazy youth above just comment ignorantly instead of praying for a leader like Trump. Forget d fake news and check his progress report.

In other news, If Hilary had won d US elections, by now Seun would have been married to Lala by force.

Make Naija great again, 2019!

What has he accomplished since he came into office? Nothing except rattle the markets.

He threatened to deport all Moslems and illegals in America, blaming them for all the problems in that country. The courts have blocked his deportations based on religion as it was against the Constitution. He threatened North Korea with Armageddon and the North Koreans have called his bluff. He has threatened to impose $50bn tarrifs on Chinese products and China promised to return the favour. Now that idea seemed to have been shelved. He is now threatening OPEC. Good luck with that.

Trump is nothing but a demagogue who appeals to popular desires and prejudices of his people rather than rational argument.

Hmmm

I pray our president won't denigrate his country

Yet he has achieved far more than most American presidents in under 2 years ...stop watch too much CNN and try to cultivate your own independent thinking

If Trumps sets his eyes in the OPEC he will definitely break the artificial OPEC induced scarcity
