Trump did not name any companies in his late-night message on TruthSocial, which was posted shortly after midnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThose prices are dropping like a rock!

Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I\u2019m seeing!\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

There was no immediate confirmation of any probe from The White House or the Department of Justice. <\/p>\n
