In a sharp warning on Monday, US President Donald Trump urged "everyone," including businesses and individuals, to keep prices in check, cautioning that the rising costs could "play into the hands of the enemy”.

Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump posted a strongly worded message calling "everyone" to help control prices amid ongoing economic concerns.

Though he did not name specific sectors, the statement appeared to be directed at US oil companies and possibly Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) nations, amid renewed concerns over global energy stability, reported ANI.
