Wan Si urgently meets with oil executives and plans to announce response policies within 48 hours
Odaily Planet Daily News: Insiders revealed that US Vice President Vance and other key officials of the Trump administration plan to hold a closed door meeting with oil executives on Thursday. Vance stated that several measures will be announced in the next 24 to 48 hours regarding the issue of oil prices. According to informed sources, the meeting will be held at the American Petroleum Institute, and members of the industry group's board of directors will attend the meeting. At the time of this meeting, Trump is facing enormous political pressure to address the rising fuel prices. The midterm elections in November will largely depend on Americans' attitudes towards the cost of living, and polls show that Trump has a lower score in dealing with economic issues. Analysts point out that Trump's options for stabilizing energy prices are limited. His government had previously ordered the release of 172 million barrels of crude oil from the US strategic reserves. Earlier today, he waived a century old shipping authorization to reduce oil transportation costs and authorized foreign flagged vessels to transport a range of commodities between ports in the United States within the next 60 days.
