During his speech, Trump also referred to the situation on the energy market. The US President announced that the International Energy Agency has decided to coordinate the release of 400 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves of various countries. According to Trump, this decision is expected to lead to a significant drop in oil prices on global markets and minimize the threats to the United States and other countries.
The US president also addressed his supporters, emphasizing that he does not want the United States to have to return to conflict with Iran every two years. — We don’t want to return to Iran every two years. Because one day there will come a time when you won’t have me as president. And maybe you will have a weak, pathetic person like in the past, he said.
The United States, together with Israel, launched an attack on Iran on February 28. In response, Tehran began retaliatory actions, attacking, among others, American military bases in the region.
