Trump's stance on oil prices shifts as Iran conflict escalates

Donald Trump had previously highlighted low gasoline prices as an achievement, but the conflict with Iran is now pushing oil prices higher. This change undermines his previous arguments about energy costs and fossil fuels.

Reports indicate some officials around Trump are encouraging him to consider a plan to exit the conflict, partly due to the economic pressure from rising oil prices. A difference in approach between the United States and Israel regarding Iran has also been noted.
