Crude futures are headed for weekly declines after U.S. President Trump outlined plans to boost domestic production and said he would ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to lower oil prices. Brent crude and WTI both rose 0.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday proved that words can be just as powerful as actions — at least temporarily — after his promise to ask the Saudis and OPEC to lower the cost of oil led to a downturn in crude prices.

"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.
