US President Donald Trump downplayed the global impact of rising oil prices. The American leader did not heed concerns about the continuation of the conflict in the Middle East, which, according to an Argentina Newsweek report cited by the Argentine News Agency, does not seem to have an imminent end. On his Truth Social platform, the Republican leader wrote that oil prices are «a very low price to pay for the security and peace of the United States and the world». «And if you can bear the price of oil exceeding $200 per barrel, then continue with this game,» he warned. «They will fall quickly when the destruction of the Iranian nuclear threat is over,» assured the American statesman. However, a spokesman for the Iranian government, after condemning attacks on the country's oil fields, warned of similar countermeasures.
