> President Donald Trump again predicted that oil prices will decline once the war in Iran ends. He has repeated that forecast for weeks, but prices have not yet fully followed the expected path. Trump also said that “we may have to” push oil prices up again. His remarks combine the long-running prediction of a postwar drop with a warning of another possible increase.
