Obama to hold White House news conference Friday

WASHINGTON – The White House says President Barack Obama will address rising oil and gasoline prices at a news conference on Friday.

Fuel prices have been rising amid continued turmoil in Libya, an oil-producing country. News that police opened fire to break up a protest Thursday afternoon in Saudi Arabia also has sparked fears that the unrest could spread to that country. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest oil exporter.

Oil prices soared $3 per barrel in just 12 minutes after the news broke in Saudi Arabia.

Obama's news conference is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. Eastern time. It will be his second full news conference of the year.
