[Vance Holds Emergency Meeting with Oil Executives, Plans to Announce Response Policies Within 48 Hours] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on March 19, informed sources revealed that U.S. 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 in response to the issue of oil prices, several measures will be announced within the next 24 to 48 hours. Informed sources said the meeting will be held at the American Petroleum Institute, with members of the industry group's board of directors in attendance. The meeting comes as Trump faces significant political pressure to address rising fuel prices. The outcome of the November midterm elections will largely depend on Americans' attitudes toward the cost of living, and polls show Trump scoring low on handling economic issues. Analysts pointed out that Trump's options for stabilizing energy prices are limited. His administration had previously ordered the release of 172 million barrels of crude oil from the U.S. Strategic Reserve. Earlier today, he waived a century-old shipping authorization to reduce oil transportation costs and authorized foreign-flagged vessels to transport a range of bulk commodities between U.S. ports over the next 60 days.
