Trump: Doesn't Care If Negotiations With Iran End, Oil Prices Will Soon Drop

BlockBeats News, June 2nd, local time on Monday. During an interview with CNBC, U.S. President Trump said, "To be honest with you, I don't care if the negotiations end." When asked about reports that Iranian negotiators had halted communication with the U.S. due to an Israeli military action in Lebanon, Trump responded, "I really don't care."

Trump told CNBC that he "will inquire" about the situation in Lebanon with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. He also said that he is not concerned about the issue of oil prices. Earlier, a report from Iranian state media caused a sharp increase in oil prices, stating that Tehran would not only cease negotiations but also vowed to "completely close off" the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump said, "I believe that oil prices will, in the very near future, as in a very short period of time, drop like a rock."
