Speaking to Fox News on Sunday (local time), Trump said ending the conflict would trigger a sharp fall in global oil prices. He reiterated that preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon remains the primary US objective.
“I think what's going to happen is we're going to win this war very soon, and as soon as we win it, the oil will go down, way down to what it was before the war,” Trump said.
