The Donald Trump administration has been littered with remarkable coincidences. However, for most people, $580 million worth of oil trades placed less than an hour before Trump announced he’d been holding talks with Iran is simply too hard to believe. Critics are now openly floating the phrase “insider trading” — not quietly, either.
The position of the U.S. government is now laid out on Truth Social every day without fail. That’s just the world we live in. Heading into March 23, Trump had threatened Iran that if they didn’t open up the Strait of Hormuz, he would target their power plants. Iran responded in kind, warning they’d go after neighboring Gulf countries’ infrastructure. Standard diplomatic back-and-forth for Trump’s administration.
