6月24日（路透社）——美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三表示，他已指示司法部调查石油公司未随原油成本下跌而下调加油站汽油价格的行为，并指责这些公司“哄骗”消费者。
特朗普在周三午夜后的社交媒体帖子中未点名任何企业。白宫和司法部（DOJ）在常规办公时间外未回应置评请求。

本周早些时候的数据显示，美伊外交关系缓和为美国民众带来了油价利好，汽油价格已连续第六周下跌。
但特朗普表示，汽油价格的下跌幅度既不够大，也与原油成本的下降不成比例。
“汽油价格最好比我目前看到的情况更快大幅下跌！”
特朗普的最新发帖正值消费者对高油价担忧升温之际，此时总统及其共和党同僚正奋力争取在11月的中期选举中保住国会的微弱多数席位。
汽油价格追踪机构GasBuddy的数据显示，周三早些时候美国汽油均价为每加仑3.906美元，较5月峰值下跌了逾14%。

相比之下，同期原油价格下跌了23%。此前美国与伊朗达成临时和平协议并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡——战争爆发前全球五分之一的石油运输都要途经该海峡。从3月的峰值算起，美国原油价格已下跌约40%。
“大型石油公司并未按照其采购原油的大幅下跌价格，同步下调加油站售价。原油价格正像石头一样暴跌！换句话说，消费者正在被‘哄抬价格’，”特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中写道。
“我已指示司法部立即对此展开调查。”
目前加油站汽油价格仍显著高于1月的每加仑2.764美元——这一价格比伊朗冲突爆发早一个多月。

June 24 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he has instructed the Department of Justice to look into oil companies for not lowering gasoline pump prices in line with falling crude costs, and accused the companies of “gouging” customers.
Trump did not name any companies in his social media post, which came after midnight. The White House and the Justice Department (DOJ) did not respond to a request for further comment outside regular business hours.

Diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran has translated into relief at the pump for Americans, data showed earlier this week, with gasoline prices falling for a sixth straight week.
However, Trump said the fall in gasoline prices was neither enough nor proportionate with declines in crude oil costs.
“Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I’m seeing!”
Trump’s latest post comes as consumers raise concern over high gasoline prices, just as the president and fellow Republicans are battling to hold narrow majorities in Congress in November’s midterm elections.
The average price of gasoline in the U.S. was $3.906 per gallon early Wednesday, GasBuddy data showed, down more than 14% from the peak in May.

By comparison, over the same period, crude oil prices have fallen 23%, with the U.S. and Iran reaching an interim peace deal and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of global oil supply moved before the war began. From their peak in March, U.S. crude prices have sunk about 40%.
“The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being “gouged”,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
“I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this.”
Pump prices remain significantly higher than the $2.764 per gallon recorded in January, more than a month before the Iran conflict began.
