US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says President Donald Trump was “well aware” of the fact that energy prices would rise in the short term due to the Iran war.
“He knew it was going to elevate energy prices in the short run, he (Trump) said, ‘I’m going to take a hit there, but I’ve got to do the right thing,’“ Wright says. “He was well aware of the risk to energy flows that were coming out of the Persian Gulf region. He said, ‘The world cannot sustain a nuclear-armed Iran, and I’m not going to do it.’”
