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.

"You've got to bring down the oil price, you've got to end that war. They should have done it long ago," President Donald Trump said.

Addressing the World Economic Forum, the US president pledged to apply pressure on OPEC, claiming that a drop in the price of oil would end Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. View on euronews
