Trump is learning.
U.S. to end all waivers on imports of Iranian oil, crude price jumps
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Monday demanded that buyers of Iranian oil stop purchases by May 1 or face sanctions, a move to choke off Tehran’s oil revenues which sent crude prices to six-month highs on fears of a potential supply crunch.
Trump is squeezing Iran AND those that are still buying Iran’s Oil.
The Saudis and OPEC will ramp up production to replace Iran’s oil supply.
Iran will be forced into making only a few really bad decisions.
1. Block the The Strait of Hormuz which would cut off other oil suppliers from reaching China, India Japan and others. These would have been Iran’s customers before Trump ended the Waivers.
2. Iran Sucks it up and tries to export their oil through Turkey, Pakistan or Turkmenistan. This can’t even come close to meeting their current sales.
3. Iran allows for Trump to destroy 80% of their economies cash inflows and the Mullahs attempt to hold power much like Maduro is trying to do.
Trump has asked/told the Saudis to help in replacing Iran’s oil and the Saudis will be happy to do so.
Learning what? That we're for sale to the highest bidder? That it's all about the Benjamins?
Trump’s gonna figure this one out - and when he does he’s going to charge the House of Saud a whole lot more or he’ll pull us out of the mercenary business that costs lives, American blood and our treasure to ‘help the effing DC ‘elites’...
Good for Trump... he needs to keep sniffin’ around... the deep state gets money from many places...
Nah - he’s just rolling out what he knew would be needed at the strategically proper times.
