Trump explained that oil prices will witness a sharp and rapid decline once the geopolitical tensions currently affecting supply chains and price levels in international markets cease.
In response to questions about the impact of rising fuel costs on voters in the United States ahead of the midterm congressional elections, Trump stressed that the rise in oil prices currently suffered by consumers is a necessary and temporary price to pay for a larger strategic goal: ensuring that Iran does not possess nuclear military capabilities.
Balance between energy stability and national security
The US President addressed the strategic dimensions of this confrontation, confirming that the goal of continuing the current pressures is to build long-term guarantees that prevent the development of any Iranian nuclear weapons in the future.

Trump noted that the US administration is working to achieve a delicate balance between protecting security interests and managing the rhythm of economic markets. Based on these statements, energy markets remain in a state of high anticipation for field and political developments related to this file, as the coming phase is expected to witness tangible shifts in crude oil price levels with the clarification of stability paths in the Gulf region and the Middle East in general, which will reflect on the stability of global energy supplies.
