Biden warns oil and gas companies against price gauging as Hurricane Ian makes landfall

Joe Biden urged oil and gas companies not to hike prices in light of Hurricane Ian making landfall in the United States on Wednesday, 28 September.

Speaking at a White House conference on hunger and nutrition, the US president issued the warning as he discussed contact with Florida officials in preparation for the arrival of the Category 4 storm.

“Do not — let me repeat — do not use this as an excuse to raise gasoline prices on the American people,” Mr Biden said.
