Trump meets with oil executives to discuss extended Iran blockade strategy
President Trump met with oil and gas executives at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the energy market impacts of a potential extended naval blockade of Iran. Trump has stated the blockade is more effective than military action and rejected an Iranian proposal to lift the siege in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade has caused oil prices to rise and created uncertainty for energy markets.
