Trump just met with the heads of Gulf States. According to his Truth Social post, deals are being discussed and announcements are coming shortly. The Strait of Hormuz will reopen. After 12 weeks of conflict, progress toward peace is genuinely welcomed. Not just because it stops the loss of lives, but because that one narrow strait controls a massive chunk of the world's oil supply. Its closure has already driven up energy prices, which drives up the price of everything else. The sooner it reopens, the sooner billions of people around the world get back to normal. This matters way beyond geopolitics.(Lark Davis)
