U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed credit for the recent decline in global oil prices, attributing it to the effects of an interim agreement with Iran. In a social media post on Monday, Trump stated that oil prices are now lower than before the start of Iran’s nuclear disarmament process. In another post, he added that fuel prices are falling rapidly. He also asserted that his approval rating has reached its highest level ever.
According to the report, Brent crude futures traded at 73 dollars per barrel on Monday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate stood at 69 dollars. These figures represent about a 15 percent decrease compared to prices before the start of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran. The report cited Al Jazeera as the source of this information.
The statements come amid ongoing attention to global energy markets and geopolitical developments involving Iran, though the report did not specify further economic or political reactions.
