He was forced to do some by his own party after Trumps kowtowing with Putin became too blatant and too harmful to the party. It was a battle to get him to do anything because he loves him some Putin.

Saudi Arabia and Russia are discussing raising OPEC and non-OPEC oil production by some 1 million barrels a day, while OPEC's chief said a complaint from U.S. President Donald Trump over higher prices triggered the idea of upping output.

Riyadh and Moscow are prepared to ease output cuts to calm consumer worries about supply adequacy, their energy ministers said on Friday, with Saudi Arabia's Khalid al-Falih adding that any such move would be gradual so as not to shock the market.

Raising production would ease 17 months of strict supply curbs amid concerns that a price rally has gone too far.

Talks are being led by the energy ministers of OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia and Russia at St. Petersburg this week along with their counterpart from the United Arab Emirates, which holds the OPEC presidency this year.

China has also raised concerns about whether enough oil is being pumped, according to a Saudi statement issued after Energy Minister Falih called China's energy chief on Friday.

OPEC may decide to raise oil output as soon as June.

So what does that have to do with "Our president in the news?"

Maybe you didn't know given the fabrications put out there by Trump, but the US doesn't belong to OPEC, and what oil we import for the most part comes from Canada

Gas is about 4 bucks now. It is going up fast. So much for the incredible huge tax cut that made us all rich.

Time to blame Trump for extremely high gas prices? Oil prices finished Wednesday's session at new 3½-year highs after President Trump abandoned a nuclear deal with Iran and announced the "highest level" of sanctions against the OPEC member. Ignoring pleas by allies, Trump on Tuesday pulled out of an international nuclear deal with Iran that was agreed in late 2015, raising the risk of conflict in the Middle East and casting uncertainty over global oil supplies at a time when the crude market is already tight. Futures extended gains after the U.S Energy Information Administration reported U.S. stockpiles of both crude oil and gasoline fell by 2.2 million barrels in the week through May 4.

US gas prices up 30% in last year, thanks to Trump!

Although the president can not set gas prices, per se, he can make international policy that will inevitably influence gas prices.
Let the blame fall where it may this fall.

Remember Trump at the pump.

Not really. We saw "obstructionism on steroids" during all of Obama's 8 years.

Actually, it's the GOP that's infected w/TDS. They're so deranged over Trump that they can't see the threat that he poses.

President Trump issued three executive orders on Friday that are aimed at cutting down on the time it takes to fire federal employees, according to multiple reports.

White House officials announced the impending orders on a call with reporters. The officials said the changes are aimed at saving taxpayers $100 million per year.

White House domestic policy director Andrew Bremberg said the new system will "advance a merit-based system" allowing federal agencies "to remove poorly-performing employees".

The orders call for federal workers to devote at least 75 percent of their on-the-clock time to work-related purposes, direct agencies to reward "performance over seniority" and push agencies to renegotiate contracts with unions, among other provisions.

White House officials said on the call that many of the provisions were part of a wish list the Trump administration delivered to Congress that has yet to be acted on.

"The president called on Congress, they haven’t done so yet. In the meantime, the president is using all available tools in the executive branch to come as close as he can," a senior Trump administration official said.

Union officials called the move an effort to decrease the power of unions.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union which represents 700,000 government workers, issued a statement calling the move an "assault."

Wow! That "on-the-clock time" provision will likely reduce the amount we see from some of the more conservative posters here.
