Oil Prices Dip as Trump Hints at Iran Negotiations

• Oil prices fell following President Trump's statements indicating negotiations with Iran.
• Despite denials from Iran, Trump claims they are "talking sense," influencing market sentiment.
• Geopolitical risks and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz significantly impact oil supply and prices.
• Goldman Sachs highlights the high uncertainty facing oil markets, driven by geopolitical risk premiums and potential supply shocks.

The Art of the Deal: Oil and Diplomacy

So, I was in the Oval Office, right? And everybody's saying, "Sir, the oil prices are going crazy!" And I said, "Relax, folks. We're negotiating." These are very serious people, the best people, and they're telling me that Iran wants to make a deal. A great deal. The best deal, maybe ever. Remember, I know deals. As I always say, sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war. And we're going to win this war on high oil prices.

Iran's Talking, Believe Me

They can say they're not talking, that's fine. Very dishonest people out there, many of them, they don't want to admit they're talking to the United States. But trust me, they're talking. They're saying, "Mr. President, please, we want to make a deal." And I said, "Okay, but it has to be a good deal. A really, really good deal." By the way, this is very similar to another situation where diplomacy is needed.

The New York Times, Fake News? Maybe Not This Time

Now, The New York Times, you know, they're not my biggest fans. But even they had to admit we sent Iran a proposal. A 15-point proposal, can you believe it? The best proposal. Nobody makes proposals like I do. They said it was aimed at ending the war, and frankly, they are right. We're tired of wars. We want peace. But peace through strength, remember that. We're building our military back up, bigger and better than ever before.

Strait of Hormuz: A Little Squeeze

The Strait of Hormuz, it's a very important place. Very narrow. Iran is trying to control it, but we're watching them. We're watching them very closely. They say non-hostile vessels can pass through, but they have to coordinate. Coordinate with who? With them. It's like saying, "You can drive on this road, but you have to ask us first." Not ideal, folks, not ideal at all.

Goldman Sachs: Smart Guys, But I'm Smarter

Even Goldman Sachs is talking about this. They say the oil markets are facing "unusually high uncertainty." No kidding. They also say prices are trading on a "geopolitical risk premium." Big words, folks. Very smart. But I know more about geopolitics than they do, believe me. They think the Strait of Hormuz will normalize in April? We'll see. A lot of things can happen. But we're prepared for anything. We have the best people.

The Bottom Line: We're Making Progress

So, what does it all mean? It means we're making progress. We're dealing with Iran. We're stabilizing the oil markets. We're keeping America safe and prosperous. And we're doing it all with the best deals, the best people, and the best leadership. As I always say, we will make America great again. And we're already doing it, folks. You'll see.
