US President Donald Trump

Oil prices have soared in the week since the US and Israel launched their war against Iran, but President Donald Trump on Saturday downplayed the idea of turning to America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve to ease the pressure.
Trump was asked by reporters on Air Force One about whether he would consider tapping the reserve.
