HOUSTON (Reuters) -Oil prices settled slightly higher on Friday but posted a weekly decline, ending four straight weeks of gains, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced sweeping plans to boost domestic production while demanding that OPEC move to lower crude prices. Trump on Friday reiterated his call for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to cut oil prices to hurt oil-rich Russia's finances and help bring an end to the war in Ukraine. "One way to stop it quickly is for OPEC to stop making so much money and drop the price of oil ... that war will stop right away," Trump said as he landed in North Carolina to view storm damage.

Target ending DEI initiatives amid Trump's order on diversity programs
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order directing federal agencies to terminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, encouraging private companies to do the same. Companies have been focused on the diversity of their workforce for decades, but contemporary DEI initiatives took off after nationwide protests in 2020 over police shootings of unarmed Black people.
