According to Anadolu Agency, US President Donald Trump assured Americans on Monday that he has a strategy to combat rising oil prices triggered by the ongoing military conflict with Iran, though he declined to elaborate on the specifics of the proposal.
Speaking to the New York Post on the tenth day of the US-Israeli offensive against Iranian targets, Trump projected confidence that his administration would stabilize energy markets, which have been volatile since the outbreak of hostilities.
“I have a plan for everything, you’ll be very happy, Trump told the Post, offering a broad promise of relief without outlining any concrete measures.
The conflict has sent shockwaves through global energy supplies, driving crude prices higher and stoking concerns about inflation at the pump for American consumers. The president’s remarks signal that the White House is closely monitoring the economic fallout from the military campaign, though the lack of detail left energy analysts and political observers speculating about potential next steps.
Options could range from tapping into the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to encouraging domestic production increases or pursuing diplomatic backchannels. However, with the offensive now entering its second week and no end in sight, the effectiveness of any plan remains uncertain.The White House has not released further information regarding the president’s strategy.
