From NPR.

President Trump says he thinks the war with Iran could soon come to an end. His comments come as there are reports that the U.S. and Iran could hold a second round of peace talks.

This also comes as both the U.S. and Iran have effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off crude oil supplies to much of the world. But since the two-week ceasefire began prices have fallen. The cost of the U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil is now above $92 a barrel. But Trump told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo this morning he’s surprised it’s only $92 a barrel — but a few days ago, speaking on the same program, Trump said he thought oil and gas prices could go higher before the midterms.
