…Brett Erickson, managing principal at Obsidian Risk Advisors, which specializes in financial crime & regulatory issues said, “You don’t unsanction Iranian oil if you’re winding down. This is the action of an administration that has no exit ramp and knows it. The word for that is desperation.” -

This is the action of an administration that has no exit ramp and knows it. The word for that is desperation.”Trump can reduce consumer oil prices within the US without enriching Iran or Russia. He can do two things he absolutely won't.
1. Issue a National Security EO requiring all domestic oil (produced, transported, refined) within the US to be sold within the US. Suspend all exports. 80-90% of oil and gas sold in the US are from the US. We also get oil from Canada.
2. (Discussed in the 1970s OPEC embargo) Trump can declare price/profit control of all domestic oil from wholesale to retail, cost + 3%, during his own-caused National Security emergency.
US consumers are paying global oil prices for domestic US-produced oil untouched by his stupid war. US oil corporations are profiting excessively by preying on US consumers for US oil while simultaneously getting American tax support and tax cuts from Trump's Big July 4, 2025 Tax Relief Bill for Billionaires. The US is a net exporter of oil. Force oil billionaires to give up profiteering. Trump can choose "the Forgotten American" or his Epstein class billionaire pals.
Additionally, Fertilizer is also primarily domestically or North American sourced. Canada is a main source of potash. The same Canada he's threatened.
