Yankees legend unloads on Trump: ‘Why are our prices so high?’
The Yankees legend is the latest voice questioning the administration's stance on oil independence amid the ongoing Iran conflict.
Yankees legend Reggie Jackson is once again taking aim at President Donald Trump. With gas prices nearing an all-time high, the Hall of Famer is questioning America’s tactics — especially in its involvement in the Iran conflict. “So we don’t need oil from outside countries?
Help me and us with that please? Then why are our prices so high? We don’t applaud you, because you do that,” Jackson wrote in an X/Twitter post .
“Stop beating down the opposition. Just continue to outdo them! Be first class.
Just win the game, you’ll get credit. ” Oil prices have surged globally since the conflict in Iran began in late February, with crude surpassing $100 per barrel several times in this period. Despite suffering significant loss of life and a change in leadership, Iran has found it has an advantage in its control of the Strait of Hormuz, where much of the world’s oil supply travels through.
