referring to Once red-hot, oil prices are suddenly tanking. Related: The oil market's shock absorbers are nearly goneTrump has repeatedly blasted OPEC for lofty oil prices and complained that prices are "too high." In fact, oil bulls argued that unleashing more oil now will leave Saudi Arabia with little firepower to respond to future shortages.
