Trump says it ‘will not be long’ before war ends, inflation will drop

US President Donald Trump has again promised that fuel prices will rapidly decrease once the conflict ends, Al Jazeera reports.

“As soon as this war is over, which will not be long, you’re going to see oil prices drop and you’re going to see a stock market … go through the roof,” he tells reporters.

“You have hundreds of ships that are loaded up with oil that want to come out. As soon as they come out, we’re going to have a gusher of oil and you’re going to have inflation that goes way down.”
