President Donald Trump has handed an embarrassing victory to Vladimir Putin amid his self-inflicted economic crisis.
The price of crude oil has spiraled since Trump, 79, launched “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran on Feb. 28. In response, Tehran has choked the world’s energy supply, using drones and mines to strike tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow shipping lane that connects Gulf oil to the rest of the world.
So, in an attempt to quell market tumult and ease prices, the Trump administration has announced that it will allow Russia to begin selling previously sanctioned oil stuck on tankers at sea, through April 11.
