A signed ceremony was set for Friday in Switzerland. ...

Trump Relaxes Shipping Restrictions to Address Wartime Energy Strain

By Nick Givas | The Western Journal President Donald Trump is issuing a temporary waiver of the Jones Act for two months in an effort to lower oil prices amid America’s ongoing conflict with Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the move on Wednesday. “President Trump’s decision to issue a 60-day Jones Act waiver is just another step to mitigate the short-term disruptions to the oil market as the U.S. military continues meeting the objectives of Operation Epic Fury,” she wrote on the social media site X. Leavitt added, “This action will allow vital resources like oil, natural gas, fertilizer, and coal to flow freely to U.S. ports for sixty days, and the Administration remains committed to continuing to strengthen our critical supply chains...

Trump Administration Taps Global Oil Reserves And U.S. Production To Steady Markets

By: Anthony Iafrate | The Daily Signal THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Secretary of Energy Chris Wright stated during a “Meet The Press” interview Sunday that the U.S. is taking several actions—including increasing oil production in deep blue California—to mitigate rising fuel costs due to the conflict in Iran. After the military strikes of Operation Epic Fury began Feb. 28, Iran sought to block U.S. transport vessels from passing though the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway separating the country from the Gulf States through which an estimated 20% of the world’s oil demand usually flows. The reduction in shipping volume has led to the surge of oil prices in the following weeks. “We have done many, many act...

Oil Surges Past $100 As Middle East War Disrupts Global Supply

By: John Carney | Breitbart Oil prices surged past $110 a barrel on Sunday evening, topping $100 for the first time in nearly four years, as the war in the Middle East entered its ninth day with no end in sight and the Strait of Hormuz remained effectively closed to tanker traffic. Brent crude, the international benchmark, briefly topped $110 soon after markets opened Sunday evening, while West Texas Intermediate rose to $109.05. Both benchmarks were trading around $60 a barrel in early January. President Trump on Sunday night sought to reassure Americans that oil prices would come down in short order. “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Saf...

America’s Energy Boom Provides Strategic Shield Amid Middle East Turmoil

By: David Blackmon | Commentary, Forbes As the missiles and drones continue to fly over the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing conflict centered in Iran, global oil markets are in turmoil. Crude prices surged past $90 per barrel on March 6, and United States pump prices have jumped about 20 cents a gallon in the past week. But even with that, the United States is weathering this storm better than other global powers thanks to an unrivaled level of national energy security. The Shale Boom and Energy Dominance: Building Blocks Of Energy Security The shale boom, boosted by the energy dominance agendas of both Donald Trump presidencies, has transformed the U.S. into an energy powerhouse, slashing reliance on Persian Gulf oil to near rock-bottom levels. This is goo...

Insurance Turmoil in the Strait of Hormuz Could Ripple Into U.S. Energy Prices

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice The next jump in gasoline prices might not start at an oil well or a refinery. It could start in the insurance market. The change isn’t happening on the water. It’s happening in insurance offices. Marine insurers have started canceling or sharply increasing the cost of war-risk coverage for ships operating in the Persian Gulf as tensions involving Iran grow. It may sound like a technical insurance decision, but for shipping companies it can determine whether a tanker sails or waits. When coverage disappears — or becomes too expensive — ships often wait. And some already are. Shipping reports indicate vessels have slowed or anchored near the Strait of Hormuz while insurers review the risks a...
