KEY POINTS
President Donald Trump claims he “called up” OPEC and told the producer group to take measures to lower fuel costs.
That conversation did not involve Saudi Arabia’s crown price or energy minister, or OPEC’s secretary general, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Even as oil prices tumbled following Trump’s remarks, it remained unclear to whom the president was referring.
