Everyone, keep oil prices low. I'm watching! You're playing into the enemy's hands. Don't do that
Trump did not specify who the "enemy" was.
Recall
After US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, oil prices jumped to their highest level since January this year. This, in turn, led to increased fears of fuel supply disruptions.
UNN also reported that rising oil prices due to escalating events in the Middle East could affect the situation around the Russian-Ukrainian war. This was stated by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.
