Trump: Maybe we have to raise oil prices again

ON 5 AUGUST LOCAL TIME, UNITED STATES PRESIDENT TRUMP, SPEAKING AT AN EVENT IN LAS VEGAS, SAID THAT OIL PRICES HAD FALLEN RECENTLY AND HAD STABILIZED TO SOME EXTENT, “WE MIGHT HAVE TO LET IT GO UP AGAIN”, BUT HE “WISHED NOT TO GO THAT FAR”. TRUMP DID NOT FURTHER EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF THIS SENTENCE. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ANALYSIS, DESPITE THE ASSURANCES REPEATEDLY GIVEN BY TRUMP THAT THE WAR WITH IRAN IS COMING TO AN END, OIL PRICES USUALLY RISE AS THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES RESUMES.
