U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism on Friday that oil prices could fall back to previous levels, or even lower, if a dispute with Iran is resolved. Speaking at the White House, Trump stated that oil prices would return to their prior levels "once the Iran issue is resolved," adding that "it will not take long at all." Regarding a diesel fuel crisis, Trump indicated that European nations would contribute from their reserves to help overcome shortages, noting that Europe possesses substantial diesel quantities and will make a "big contribution to the world," alongside the United States.
Trump's remarks come amid sharp volatility in oil markets, fueled by escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Concerns persist about potential impacts on crude supply and shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb strait. Markets are also monitoring developments in what the article refers to as the "American-Israeli war on Iran," which reportedly began on February 28, and its potential repercussions on energy prices, inflation, and U.S. monetary policy.
