President Donald Trump blamed OPEC on Friday for high oil prices, claiming the organization had artificially lifted prices that “will not be accepted.”

“Looks like OPEC is at it again. With record amounts of Oil all over the place, including the fully loaded ships at sea, Oil prices are artificially Very High! No good and will not be accepted!” the president wrote on Twitter.

Oil prices in the U.S. hit a three-year high earlier this week but dipped somewhat on Friday amid a meeting of OPEC members and nonmembers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, according to Reuters. Should they remain relatively stable through Friday, it would mark the second straight week of increased oil prices.
