trump has never really 'wanted' anything for voters that have served their purpose, unless there is non-coincidental benefit for himself first, friends&family next.
Well, that's the cynical attitude I was channeling. Neither Trump nor his Administration benefits from higher oil prices. High oil prices - and high gas prices - are disliked by the American public, and he wants the GOP to hold the House in the midterms. So other things being equal, he has no reason to want higher oil prices.
His oil company donors from the last election might prefer higher oil prices. But Trump has no reason to take their preferences into account.
