ASHEVILLE, NC. (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday reiterated his call for OPEC to cut oil prices to hurt oil-rich Russia’s finances and help bring an end to the war in Ukraine.

“One way to stop it quickly is for OPEC to stop making so much money and drop the price of oil…. That war will stop right away,” Trump said as he landed in North Carolina to view storm damage.
