What Donald Trump ‘s said about Ukraine war
In his speech, Donald Trump asserted that lower prices would help bring the war between Russia and Ukraine to an immediate end.”I am also going to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil. You have to bring it down which, frankly, I am surprised they didn’t do before the election. That didn’t show a lot of love by them not doing it. I was a little surprised by that. If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately,” Trump said in his address.

Donald Trump also stated that OPEC nations bear some responsibility for the war between Ukraine and Russia. He said, “The current high oil prices are contributing to the continuation of the war. To end the conflict, oil prices need to be lowered. This should have been done much earlier. OPEC is, to some extent, responsible for what’s happening. Millions of lives are being lost. If oil prices drop, I will demand an immediate reduction in interest rates, and that should be happening globally as well.”
