“EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING!” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform shortly after U.S. markets opened, as oil prices surged in early trading.
He warned against actions that could, in his words, “play right into the hands of the enemy.”
The President’s remarks came amid growing concerns over Iran’s pledge to retaliate.
Tehran is reportedly considering a range of responses, including a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime route through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply is transported.
